A federal judge has ordered a temporary restriction on the Elon Musk-led Department of Governmental Efficiency’s ability to access crucial Treasury Department payment systems, arguing that there is a risk of “irreparable harm” unless emergency relief is provided.

A federal judge early Saturday blocked Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency team from accessing the Treasury Department payment system, the latest in a series legal orders against the Trump administration.

District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued the preliminary injunction after 19 Democratic attorneys general sued Trump.
