Now we have judges claiming that The duly confirmed Treasury Secretary can't access the things in his own department.

Are we?

That's been bandied about a bit, but I couldn't find any order doing exactly that. The closest I found was the order that blocked DOGE from getting access to records in the Treasury Department - but it doesn't seem like it would block the Treasury Secretary. The order is linked in the below news article:

As we've mentioned before, agencies are required by law to protect personally identifiable information from being accessed by other agencies. So DOGE wouldn't be allowed to access the records systems of other agencies if they contain that information. But that wouldn't apply to the Secretary accessing records in their own department.
