#DOGE is…playing a leading role in the administration’s campaign to hunt down undocumented immigrants, using databases from the Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Social Security Administration.
From the Washington Post: HUD knows which households include undocumented people because all applicants are required to report their status when seeking assistance. Undocumented immigrants are prorated out of the amount of assistance households receive but have been allowed to live in public housing for years. An undocumented grandparent or parent sometimes lives in public housing with other eligible family members.
The effort to locate and kick out mixed-status households is being led by Mike Mirski, a DOGE staffer at HUD who plans to target cities such as New York and Chicago first… #ElonMusk #immigrants #deportations #HUD #SSA
