Washington (Reuters) – The head of the US Social Security Administration has withdrawn from “the seizure of the agency” after a federal judge blamed for a misinterpretation of a court decision that the limited billionaire of Elon Musk to access information.
The head of the agency, Leland Dudek, who cooperated with a presidential group that is responsible for reducing the government’s waste, said in a statement Friday that the court explained the decision.
“Therefore, I won’t turn off the agency,” said Dudeek, who has been appointed by US President Donald Trump as an acting commissioner.
The Social Security Administration runs aid for tens of millions of elderly Americans and people with disabilities.
Since it took office in January, Trump has sworn to reduce the size of the government and take over the Musk to lead an attempt to reduce the waste of the government. Trump and the mask say there is a lot of social security fraud and the Mask group, known as the DOGE, requires access to the agency’s data to identify those who are fraudulent to receive aid money.
On Thursday, however, US Judge Elien Lipton Holland ruled on Thursday that the agency may violate confidential protection laws by giving Musk’s aides “unlied unlimited” to data from millions of USs. He ordered a thorough suspension of record sharing between the Dudic Foundation and the Mask Dodge.
Dudek told us that the media outlets, including Bloomberg News and the Washington Post, that the court order requires restrictions on access to information to the agency’s employees, which effectively closes the agency.
The Netherlands rejected the scene on Friday. “Such emphasis on the scope of the order is incorrect,” the judge wrote in a letter to the government’s lawyer.
He said Thursday’s decision clearly stated that the Musk team could still access the records while repetition of well-known personal information, such as the name and social security number, had been repeated. The judge said the order was clear that the agency’s employees could still access unpublished documents.
“Any proposal that the order may need to be delayed or suspending aid fees is wrong,” the Holland said.
The Trump administration’s efforts in the social security administration have destabilized many pensioners.
More than 100 people – including pensioners and unions of trade unions – on Saturday at a parking lot in White Plains in New York to protest against the closure of a local social security office. George Latimer, a democrat representing the region in Congress, was among the politicians and unions of trade union.
The demonstrators pointed to him and read him, “Remove your monstrous hands from social security” and “My mother should be examined!”
The legal case, which is related to the dodes, has caught up the amount of personal information from Doge employees in the database, and Thursday’s decision was one of the most important legal retreats for the survival so far.
Thursday’s decision said the information in the social security administration’s registrations include social security, personal and mental health registration, driving license, bank account data, tax information, income history, maternity and marriage, and employment records.
