A judge on Monday evening ruled not to block the Department of Government Efficiency from gaining access to data from the Department of Education on student borrowers. 

The request to the court to block the department was made in a lawsuit by the University of California Student Association that argued DOGE having access to such data would be a violation of privacy laws. 

Judge Randolph Moss, of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, ruled the plaintiff failed to show sufficient irreparable harm to receive such immediate relief. 

“Because the Court concludes that UCSA has failed to clear that essential hurdle, the Court’s analysis also ends there,” Moss wrote in his ruling.
