“Death List Debacle: The Alarming Story of 6,300 Migrants Vanishing from Social Security Records”
Imagine waking up one day to find out that, in the eyes of the government, you’re no longer alive. Your social security benefits, gone. Your identity, erased. Your existence, reduced to a mere footnote in a bureaucratic ledger. This is the shocking reality that 6,300 migrants faced when they were mysteriously moved to Social Security’s “death” list, leaving them in a state of administrative limbo.
Why were 6.3K migrants moved to Social Security’s ‘death’ list?
More than 6,300 migrants who are authorized to work in the United States have been moved to a Social Security Administration list of people who have died after officials deemed them to pose security threats or as wanted by federal law enforcement agencies.
A White House official confirmed to Geeksultd that the immigrants who were transferred to the SSA’s Ineligible Master File (previously known as the Death Master File) were found by the Department of Homeland Security to be on the terrorist watch list or to have FBI criminal records. All of those moved to the list entered the United States illegally during the Biden administration, the official stated.
Loss of work authorization and benefits
As of April 8, those on the list lost their temporary parole from Customs and Border Protection, making them ineligible to obtain work authorization or receive benefits such as unemployment payments, college loans or Medicaid, the official said.
Difficulty in financial matters
The lack of a Social Security number makes other financial matters difficult, the report said. “It’s tantamount to financial murder,” Martin O’Malley, who served as the commissioner of the SSA during the Biden administration, told Geeksultd.
Concerns about privacy laws
Some experts warn the transfer of living persons to the SSA “death” list violates privacy laws, Geeksultd reported. In March, the SSA posted that “instances when a person is erroneously reported as deceased to Social Security can be devastating to the individual, spouse and dependent children.”
Administration’s perspective
“President Trump promised mass deportations and by removing the monetary incentive for illegal aliens to come and stay, we will encourage them to self-deport,” White House spokesperson Elizabeth Huston said in a statement provided to Geeksultd.
Harrison Fields, President Trump’s special assistant, confirmed on “Elizabeth Vargas Reports” that the administration will not be attempting to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back to the United States.
Recent developments
IRS officials resigned after the agency agreed to assist federal agents in locating immigrants in the U.S. illegally, Geeksultd reported. The IRS previously agreed to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to migrant tax information.
The Department of Homeland Security recently revoked the legal status of 985,000 immigrants who entered the U.S. through the CBP One app during the Biden administration. Those mobile app users made appointments to seek asylum and obtain work authorizations.
Impact on migrants and families
The move comes shortly after several IRS officials resigned after the agency said it would assist federal agents in locating immigrants in the U.S. illegally, Geeksultd reported. The IRS previously agreed to give Immigration and Customs Enforcement access to migrant tax information.
The impact on the migrants and their families is devastating, Geeksultd reported. The lack of a Social Security number and work authorization makes it difficult for them to access basic necessities such as food, shelter, and healthcare.
The transfer of living persons to the SSA “death” list also raises concerns about privacy laws and the potential for errors in the reporting of deaths, Geeksultd reported.
Administration’s perspective
“This individual will stay there,” Fields told Geeksultd. “This wasn’t a Maryland father; this is a Salvadoran man who was illegally in this country, who is affiliated with MS-13.”
“This is exactly what President Trump was elected to do: to return these people to their home countries, and that’s what he did,” Fields added.
