When DOGE employees break the law, their names should not be secret.

In the Privacy Act lawsuit against DOGE and the Office of Personnel Management, EFF helped unseal the names of employees at the center of the violations. Read yesterday's Court opinion. https://www.eff.org/files/2026/04/01/2026-04-01_opinion_and_order_dckt_208_00.pdf

@eff Is there a repository that allows me to search if my PII was leaked?

@manchuck For awareness, OPM databases maintain records on current and former government employees. If you want to know if your information from OPM has been disclosed to the DOGE agency, Rep. Jamie Raskin created a template that allows you to request a copy of your information from the DOGE agency. It is unclear if they will respond.

You can check it out here:

@eff

In the conclusion, it says the defendants (OPM) must now re-file various documents with the DOGE names visible (not redacted).

What happens if they don’t ever get around to re-filing?

@donray We are confident the DOJ will refile the un-redacted versions soon. Either way, EFF's briefs from now on will specifically name the DOGE agents. And the Court's opinions will do the same.

@eff

It's definitely good that at least moving forward the DOGE people will have to own up to their actions.

I'm just so tired of the tRump Administration slow-walking their compliance to EVERY judicial order.

@eff This is great work! Congratulations EFF
