Can a federal judge or any other legal entity stop DOGE? [View all]

I posted this in another thread. It seems likely that Musk is acting illegally to seize classified data from federal agencies, including people's tax data and to shutter federal agencies that were created by Congress.

Musk and the people handling/storing the information have had no background checks and signed no confidentiality agreements on how they will handle the information they are seizing.

Most of this seems that it should be illegal on a variety of levels. My question is, since the Democrats don't have the votes in the House or the Senate to pass measures to stop this, what other legal avenues are there? Does anyone know?

Could a federal judge issue a cease and desist order? Could state attorney generals take emergency action on behalf of their constituents whose privacy has been compromised? Could the DC police arrest anyone? I know that the last one is unlikely, but what legal right does Musk et al. have to seize material that they have not been cleared to handle?

In short, does anyone know if there are there any systemic means to halt what is happening? Congress has the power to illegalize it, but the votes aren't there.
