The orders here were blocking access to the Treasury's payment system, which covers about 2/3 of the entire federal government and will certainly include access to tons of personally identifiable information (unless they simply do not maintain any information that is unhashed anywhere in that system, which seems unlikely given the order). That information is required to be maintained private. Which means Treasury can't let DOGE have access to the system. If DOGE asks for information that does not involve personally identifiable information, Treasury can provide it (subject to tons of other rules not relevant here). But if they ask for access to the entire payments system, which includes PII, Treasury can't give it to them.

This is assuming that the data under question is the raw stuff and they were just letting the DOGE people spelunk through it all. I have no idea one way or the other.

To me, it's perfectly reasonable to ask "What does the government spend its cash on?" and then proceed to trace where all that money goes.
