Establishing and Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency
Executive Order 14158 creates the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to oversee federal technology modernization. This order renames the U.S. Digital Service (USDS) as the “United States DOGE Service” and grants it sweeping authority to access federal IT systems, override previous regulations, and enforce an 18-month technology overhaul. The order centralizes digital modernization efforts under the White House and mandates the formation of DOGE Teams within federal agencies, giving them direct reporting lines to a White House-appointed USDS Administrator.

This order invokes counterterrorism laws to expand the U.S. government’s power to combat cartel-related crime, citing national security threats posed by their operations.
