Congressman Krishnamoorthi Blasts Supreme Court Ruling Granting DOGE Access to Social Security Data

WASHINGTON – Congressman Raja Krishnamoorthi issued the following statement in response to the Supreme Court’s decision to grant the Trump Administration’s DOGE team access to Social Security data:

“With this ruling, the Supreme Court has once again chosen Donald Trump’s agenda over the privacy of the American people. The Court just handed Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE team a skeleton key to the personal data of more than 70 million Americans—Social Security numbers, medical records, wage histories—all without proper safeguards, oversight, or justification. This isn’t modernization. It’s potentially mass surveillance masquerading as reform. Despite clear warnings from lower courts, the majority opened the door to an unaccountable and unelected task force rifling through our most sensitive information. If the Supreme Court won’t defend Americans’ privacy, then Congress must.”
