Social Security Chief Reverses Shocking Shutdown Threat After Judge’s Ruling – Trump Reacts
Acting Social Security Chief Reverses Shutdown Threat After Court Blocks DOGE Access
The Acting Commissioner of the Social Security Administration, Leland Dudek, has clarified that he will not shut down the agency, reversing his earlier statement following a judge’s ruling. The federal court temporarily blocked the Department of Government of Efficiency (DOGE) from accessing sensitive Social Security data.
Initially, Dudek warned that this ruling could force him to halt Social Security payments and lock out all agency employees. However, after receiving clarifying guidance, Dudek confirmed that Social Security offices will stay open and operations will continue as usual.
President Donald Trump expressed support for keeping the offices open, emphasizing the importance of delivering benefits on time. The ruling by U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ensures no DOGE personnel can access systems containing personal data.
The situation sparked intense political and public attention, but officials now assure that Social Security payments remain safe and services uninterrupted.
