Officials working with the U.S. DOGE Service are pushing agencies to turn over #information on where people work, study & live.
The #Trump admin is using personal data normally #protected from dissemination to find undocumented immigrants where they work, study & live, often with the goal of removing them from their housing & the workforce.

At the Dept of Housing & Urban Development [#HUD], for example, ofcls are working on a rule that would #ban mixed-status households[
] — in which some family members have legal status & others don’t—from public #housing, acc/to multiple staffers…. Affiliates from #DOGE are also looking to kick out existing mixed-status households, vowing to ensure that undocumented immigrants do not benefit from public programs, even if they live w/ #citizens or other eligible family members.
The push extends across agencies: Last week, the #SSA entered the names & #SocialSecurity numbers of >6,000 mostly Latino immigrants into a database it uses to track dead people, effectively slashing their ability to receive benefits or #work legally in the #UnitedStates. Federal #tax & #immigration enforcement officials recently reached a deal to share confidential tax data for people *suspected* of being in the #US illegally.

The result is an unprecedented effort to use government data to support the admin’s #immigration policies. That includes #information people have reported about themselves for years while paying #taxes or applying for #housing — believing that information would not be used against them for immigration purposes. #Legal experts say the data sharing is a breach of #privacy rules that help ensure trust in government programs & services.
