Overview

  • Three DOGE operatives—Miles Collins, Aram Moghaddassi, and Marko Elez—are confirmed to have privileged access to sensitive Department of Labor (DOL) datasets.
  • The accessed systems include the National Farmworker Jobs Program (NFJP), Foreign Labor Application Gateway (FLAG), and Reentry Employment Opportunities (REO) program databases.
  • These databases contain Social Security numbers, visa application details, and other personal information of legally authorized immigrants and farmworkers in the U.S.
  • Concerns have been raised that this data access could enable targeting of legal immigrants for deportation or advanced investigations, potentially misusing cross-referenced datasets.
  • Marko Elez is also embedded at the Department of Homeland Security, contributing to efforts to centralize data for enforcement and deportation purposes.
