Investigate and prosecute DOGE operatives who gained unauthorized access to federal data systems, including the Treasury Bureau of Fiscal Service, the Social Security Administration, the IRS, and the Office of Personnel Management. Courts have already issued emergency orders blocking that access, calling the situation "unprecedented." That judicial language should be a signal to act, not a reason to wait. DOGE personnel, many with no government experience, were given read-and-write access to systems holding the tax records, Social Security numbers, and banking data of hundreds of millions of Americans. They also physically broke into federal buildings without authorization. The Privacy Act of 1974, the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and federal trespassing statutes exist precisely for situations like this. The Supreme Court will hear U.S. DOGE Service v. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, No. 25-1103, with a decision expected by late June. Congress must not use that timeline as cover for inaction. Open a formal investigation now, issue criminal referrals immediately, and demand the detention of those responsible before evidence disappears and more damage is done.
