DOGE is granted untapped access to more than 3.5million people's immigrants sensitive data
2025-04-22
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Elon Musk's controversial Department of Government Efficiency has been granted access to the sensitive data of millions of immigrants dating back to the 1990s.

It is the latest extraordinary development in the Trump administration's far-reaching efforts to track down and deport illegal immigrants using any tools at the government's disposal.

The Justice Department granted a DOGE request to the Executive Office for Immigration Review's Courts and Appeals System, known as ECAS, according to the Washington Post.

This database contains names, addresses, immigration testimony and court records of countless migrants - both documented and undocumented.
Illegals have no right to privacy — especially when their lawbreaking is being examined. Ditto those who lied on their application or who committed acts once here that should have resulted in their legal application being rejected. Those here legally who did not break the law will be ignored by these particular DOGE file searches.
While there is no explicit number confirming how many people are impacted, the system is reportedly dealing with a backlog of 3.5million cases.

This means that at an absolute minimum, DOGE staffers will now have access to unprecedented information about every single person and case.

Beyond that, a source with knowledge of the ECAS accounts told the publication the system contains information about immigrants dating back to the 1990s.

'It's every record of every interaction immigrants have had with the U.S. government in any way,' the official said.

#1  The thing to remember (IMO) about illegal immigrants, is that they didn't break the law once (when entering illegally) - they keep breaking the law every second they remain.
