Federal employees are looking for a temporary restriction order as part of a collective lawsuit accusing a group of Elon Musk Fellows of illegally connected a servant from the fifth floor of the Personnel Management Office (OPM) in the United States Washington, DC.

A lawyer representing federal workers – June 1 and 2 – a proposal this morning on the pretext that the ongoing server operation not only violates federal law, but it may expose huge amounts of personal information of government employees to foreign opponents hostile through the non -excellent email.

If the proposal is granted, OPM will have to separate the server until the evaluation is done.

The server -related email account – HR@OPMOV – is used to collect information from federal workers who accept acquisitions under the “deferred resignation program” of the official, which is scheduled to end on February 6.

“Under the law, a temporary restriction matter is an unusual treatment,” the CEO of National Security Consultants, Kiel McLanahhan notes. “But this is an unusual situation.”

Before issuing a restricted order, the courts apply what is known as the principle of “equilibrium”, the weight of burdens and costs on both parties. However, in this case, McLanahhan argues that the irony will lead to “the lack of hardship” on the government at all. He says February 6 is a “arbitrary deadline”, and the administration can simply continue implementing the resignation program “through the previously existing channels.
