Trump Administration Declares Over 6,000 Latino Immigrants 'Deceased' to Cut Benefits
The policy, reportedly influenced by Elon Musk's Doge commission, aims to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave the U.S. by stripping them of essential services.
- The Social Security Administration under the Trump administration has officially declared more than 6,000 Latino immigrants 'deceased,' terminating their access to social benefits.
- This measure is part of a broader strategy to use administrative tactics to pressure undocumented immigrants to leave the country.
- The decision reportedly stems from recommendations by the Doge commission, led by Elon Musk, which focuses on government efficiency and cost-cutting measures.
- Being classified as 'deceased' severs access to critical services tied to Social Security numbers, including employment, banking, housing, and other administrative functions.
- Officials claim the targeted group includes individuals labeled as criminals and presumed terrorists, though the policy has drawn widespread criticism for its discriminatory nature.
