Trump Administration Declares Over 6,000 Latino Immigrants 'Dead' to Cut Benefits

The policy voids Social Security numbers to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S., escalating anti-immigration measures.

Over 6,000 Latino immigrants have been declared 'dead' in the Social Security system, effectively cutting off their access to employment, banking, housing, and other services.
The Trump administration claims the measure targets alleged Social Security fraud, though these claims have been widely debunked.
The policy is part of a broader strategy to enforce immigration control, including tactics designed to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave the country voluntarily.
The initiative reportedly stems from recommendations by the Doge commission, led by Elon Musk, aimed at reducing public expenditure.
Critics argue the move exacerbates vulnerabilities for undocumented immigrants, stripping them of essential rights and services.
