The Trump administration is using federal data from agencies such as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and the Social Security Administration (SSA) to target undocumented immigrants, aiming to remove them from housing and jobs. The SSA has moved over 6,300 migrants, who were legally admitted under temporary parole status, to a database typically used to track deceased individuals, known as the 'Death Master File' or 'Ineligible Master File', in an effort to encourage self-deportation. This initiative is being overseen by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led by Elon Musk. This move affects over 6,100 immigrants who entered the U.S. legally but are now being classified as dead, which severely restricts their access to essential services like banking and employment. The administration's actions are part of a broader strategy to enforce immigration policies, with President Trump confirming awareness of the SSA's actions. The move is also supported by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), who are sharing critical data and leveraging advanced analytics to enhance national security. Additionally, the administration has revoked legal status for immigrants using the CBP One app, and has facilitated data-sharing agreements between DHS, the Treasury Department, and ICE to further identify and locate individuals without valid status, particularly those on the terrorist watch list or with FBI criminal records. Critics argue these measures violate privacy laws and could mistakenly affect U.S. citizens, urging self-deportation as the only viable option for those affected.

Trump administration aims to convince some immigrants without legal status to self-deport by adding them to a database of dead people, thus rendering their Social Security numbers inoperable, Reuters reports.

"Trump admin. is using personal data normally protected from dissemination to find undoc. immigrants where they work, study & live, often with the goal of removing them from their housing & the workforce." https://t.co/FCQLnOKZvr It's a scandal that we haven't always done this.
