The title of the article is kind of outrageous. When I saw it I thought they were just randomly picking people out to end their benefits.

Schofield expressed concern that the plan was part of an effort to “deport immigrants, regardless of whether they were suspected terrorists or convicted violent criminals,” according to the complaint.

Apparently this "whistleblower" thinks it's illegal to deport anyone unless they are terrorists or convicted violent criminals. Or he thinks something is supposed to stop just because he doesn't like it. The fact that the formal "complaint" (as this article calls it) includes that is remarkable in itself. It refers to it as a "concern" of his. Whistleblower reports are not about someone's concerns afaik.

I have a strong feeling that this lunatic's allegations aren't 100% accurate. I will be interested in hearing the response from the Trump administration.

The Democrats have seceded from the human race. It’s time for Trump to go full Pinochet.

WOT?!!

No surprise to the misleading tenor in the article. MarketWatch leans left more often than NASCAR drivers at Bristol. (Note: all turns at almost all tracks are left turns)

ILLEGALS ARE ENTITLED TO OUR MONEY! /s

The entire US Treasury is just a money laundering slush fund that pays high commissions to those involved, using social welfare programs designed for just that purpose.

NFP'S in Memphis funded by government grants exceed 15,000. More than twice the number of real businesses. Check the next post link for state published numbers.

Declared invasion and closed border should have some consequences

[Quickgun]

I think that article is a lie. And i also thought you didn’t have to commit other crimes besides coming across the border illegally to be sent back. And the title of the article stinks, too...

When asked why DHS wanted the 2.7 million people to be marked as dead, a DOGE worker said “either the lives of these individuals would be ruined … and they would be driven to ‘self-deport’” or “they would have to go to a local Social Security office, at which point SSA staff would send them to DHS offices,” where officials would “detain them for deportation,” according to the complaint.

Sounds like a great plan, in my humble opinion.

But I'm not dead yet!

[for-q-clinton]

Sounds like a great idea.

Thx...360 orgs in our county of about 28,000 people...my hub and I have been researching this...will check out

Well, just like any government program that doles out money, you know there are going to be some abuses. As I recall, DOGE found many active social security accounts for people that were well over 100 years old and the numbers were statistically impossible.

No need for my thoughts, they are the same as yours.

[Sequoyah101]

just another 2.7 million people committing FRAUD and stealing from taxpayers. How about we blow the whistle on them?

[BenLurkin]

“deport immigrants, regardless of whether they were suspected terrorists or convicted violent criminals”

Good!

“We have a net worth of $10M and a monthly income of $20,000. How will we ever be able to afford to retire?”

Marketwatch is another leftist propaganda entity hiding behind a conservative sounding name
