BREAKING: Another one of the radical judges that Democrats rushed to confirm into office toward the end of Joe Biden’s term in office has just thrown a roadblock down in front of the Trump agenda.
From Fox News: A federal judge on Friday granted an injunction requested by 19 attorneys general to prevent the Elon Musk-led Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) from having access to the Treasury Department’s central payment system.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Jeannette Vargas extends the pause by issuing a preliminary injunction, a legal step that blocks access to the records while the case is litigated on the merits.
In her 64-page decision, Vargas noted she was granting the preliminary injunction preventing DOGE from accessing the payment records because of the possible disclosure of the states’ bank records. However, she also said the plaintiffs “have not demonstrated that they are entitled to the broad and sweeping relief they seek, which would far exceed the scope of the present TRO (Temporary restraining order).”
Vargas is giving Trump administration attorneys the chance to fix any defects so that the sensitive information will be protected.
A report is due March 24. Last week, a federal judge extended a temporary order to block DOGE from accessing Treasury payment systems.
New York Attorney General Letitia James, who filed the lawsuit, was joined by Democrat attorneys general from Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont and Wisconsin.
In a post on X, James cheered, “We just won a court order stopping DOGE and unauthorized, unelected, and unvetted individuals like Elon Musk from accessing people’s private data and blocking federal funds. We will keep fighting to protect all Americans from this administration’s destruction.”

Judge Vargas was recommended to the Biden administration by Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY), and nominated by Joe Biden in March 2024. She was confirmed by the Senate in September 2024 and took office on Nov. 6.

Last week, independent journalist Laura Loomer blasted out the “receipts” on Judge Vargas. She wrote:
US District Judge Jeanette Vargas, who just extended a temporary block on @DOGE from accessing Treasury Department systems in her effort to attack President Trump in conjunction with NY Attorney General @TishJames, is a BIDEN DONOR, according to FEC records I have uncovered.
I’ve also discovered that her Indian husband Shivashish Chatterjee confounded a finance company in India called DMI Finance, and according to the FEC, he is also a Democrat donor who has made over 51 political contributions to Joe Biden and Democrats.
He congratulated his wife on his Linked In page below when she was appointed by Joe Biden on March 20, 2024 to serve as a United States district judge of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Judge Vargas said at a court hearing that she would not yet rule on a request from 19 Democratic state attorneys general (led by the crooked @TishJames) for a longer preliminary injunction on DOGE’s access to the Treasury systems.
Judge Vargas is another Biden appointed activist judge whose political donations should disqualify her from overseeing cases involving the Trump
Admin.
Are there any non biased judges? We are still subjected to Banana Republic activist judges even though Trump is President.

Loomer added:
QUID PRO QUO? It’s worth noting the political contributions of Shivashish Chatterjee, the husband of Judge Jeannette Vargas. Between May 19-May 25, 2024 Chatterjee contributed a total of $6,600.00 to Gillibrand For Senate @SenGillibrand. Additionally, on May 18, 2024 Chatterjee contributed $6,600.00 to the New York Majority Fund. Gillibrand is a beneficiary of the aforementioned committee.
On March 20, 2024, Democrat New York Senator Kristen Gillibrand announced her recommendation of Judge Vargas for the Southern District of New York in a Press Release thanking Joe Biden.

“Thank God for these Biden judges!” one liberal cheered.
🚨 BREAKING: Judge Jeannette Vargas, a Biden appointee, has expanded the blockade on DOGE’s access to Treasury systems, citing a “realistic danger” that the “rushed” process has already compromised sensitive payment data.
