State of New York v. Trump (NY DOGE Access S.DNY)

No. 1:25-cv-01144 District · Active Active

Case Overview

A coalition of state attorneys general sued the Trump administration over DOGE's access to the Department of Treasury. Plaintiffs are requesting the court grant a temporary restraining order and preliminary and permanent injunctions preventing non-Treasury employees from gaining access to any Treasury Department payment systems or data systems at Treasury.


The Application

History

Plaintiffs argue DOGE employees lack statutory authorization to access Treasury systems and that such access would compromise financial system integrity and data security. The administration likely asserts that DOGE operations are authorized by executive action and fall within presidential administrative authority. The court must evaluate whether plaintiffs are likely to succeed on their ultra vires claims and whether unauthorized access creates irreparable harm.

The Conclusion

The case is active before Judge Jeannette A. Vargas in the Southern District of New York. The court has not yet ruled on the plaintiffs' requests for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction.
