On February 8, Jinshi Data reported that on February 7 local time, CCTV reporters learned that US District Court Judge John Bates ruled that there will be no restrictions on the government efficiency department (DOGE) led by Elon Musk from accessing labor department data. It is reported that earlier, US unions and think tanks made an emergency request to impose restrictions on DOGE's access. Bates rejected the request and stated that he had concerns about DOGE's operations, but believed that the unions and think tanks failed to prove an urgent threat to the access of DOGE to the data, so it is not appropriate for the court to intervene at the moment.
