U.S. Supreme Court to hear DOGE transparency and terrorism support cases
The U.S. Supreme Court has agreed to hear several significant cases for its 2026-27 term, including a dispute over the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and government transparency.
In U.S. Doge Service v. U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, the Court will address whether DOGE qualifies as a federal agency subject to the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). The case follows a request by the watchdog group Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) for communications involving DOGE administrator Amy Gleason and various financial and personnel records.
Additionally, the Court will review a case concerning federal immigration law to determine if serving as a cook for a violent separatist group constitutes providing “material support” for terrorism. The Court is also set to decide on the extent of trial court authority regarding orders issued in disputes over access to government information.
