In a bold move to protect citizens' privacy rights, New York and 18 other states have joined forces to sue the Trump administration over alleged violations of data privacy laws. The states are challenging the administration's efforts to grant access to personal information stored in the Department of General Education (DOGE) database.

The lawsuit comes in response to recent revelations that the administration was seeking access to DOGE data, including information on students' gender identity and gender-altering procedures. New York Attorney General Letitia James, who is leading the legal action, stated that the administration's actions were a blatant violation of privacy laws and could have serious consequences for individuals' personal information.

The lawsuit is seeking an injunction to block the administration from accessing the DOGE database and to ensure that sensitive information is protected. This legal battle highlights the ongoing tension between privacy rights and government surveillance, and the importance of holding the administration accountable for its actions. Stay tuned for more updates as this lawsuit unfolds.
