WASHINGTON − The Department of Government Efficiency doesn't have to turn over records and answer questions about its operations for now, the Supreme Court said on June 6, intervening in a dispute between the Trump administration and a watchdog group over DOGE's role in slashing federal jobs and remaking the federal government.
 
In response to an emergency request from the administration, the court's conservative majority ordered a lower court to narrow the information DOGE needs to disclose.

In a brief, unsigned order, the majority said "separation of powers concerns counsel judicial deference and restraint" when directing the executive branch to hand over internal communications.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address
