We are living in the greatest ever epic novel not written. If an actual author tried to publish a story of our timeline, it’d be in the YA sci-fi section for sure.

Green card holders need a Social Security number to work. Over the years, it's become the national ID. They pay FICA taxes but still don't get senior benefits, unless or until they are nationalized (become US citizens).

This was targeted on immigrants to force Liberals to "defend terrorist immigrants"... Just like the no due process deportations... Don't fall into the support eroding trap. Keep the story "the lawless administration" and how it could happen to ANY ONE OF US.

Look, I know the Musk/Trump administration would love to murder all immigrants at some point in the next 2-3 years, but this seems like DOGE incompetence again. That happens when a ketamine fueled loser and a Cheeto dusted rapist run the government.

That's because musk and his space invader boys are stealing the data and messing up whatever they are done with. I heard that on independent media data is going over musky's starlink network and making its way to russia. These people are trators. Only out for themselves

This reporting is false. These illegal aliens were never classified as dead,” “The ‘Death Master File’ was renamed the ‘Ineligible Master File’ prior to their names being transferred. Once USCBP terminated their parole, these individuals were no longer eligible for benefits!

look I know it's not at all the point, but the way this is written as "showing up with documents to prove they are alive," with a focus on the documents rather than the showing up, is sort of grimly, stupidly funny

I hate that this Klown Kar Administration has messed up so many decent people's lives trying to squeeze out enough money for these billionaires' tax breaks I hate voters who simply wanted a better life have to go through this.

Lol. 3 dozen people. 36 people. Oh no. If this is even true 36 whole people huh? So that's an average of less than one person per state they got wrong. A real news organization what also report what they're getting right. WP is just liberal propaganda. It's not a news organization.

Because a president can be deceived is the reason he executes the laws according to Congress and the courts. The President cannot lawfully disclose U.S. citizens’ private information—doing so would violate constitutional protections, federal law, and his oath of office.

Are they immigrants who were legally married to an American spouse who is deceased? Widows/widowers of a US citizen can designate them as the beneficiary, right?

quick q for journalists. What happens if Trump Regime decides to just list ANYONE the don’t like as dead SS/IRS - then kidnaps/deports/disappears them to remote concentration camps to put all the little screws in iphones... Do they even exist?

This increases administrative costs… It is inefficient. Sabotage always is. Musk, Trump, the Heritage Foundation, their agents and co-conspirators in the GOP are breaking laws, violating the constitution, aiding/abetting enemies domestic and foreign - committing treason.

All of this chaos falls back on the people who voted for the stupidest man (Donald J Trump) ever elected president of the United States. Donald J Trump kills everything he touches, and now he’s touching America. If we don’t get his grubby little hands off our country, he will kill it.

Yep, the DOGE boys have caused so much damage, based on false assumptions. We are not talking about a tech startup here, you can erase a website or alter a few pieces overnight with a website. That’s tech. Musk never cared about the lives that he altered with his “mistakes”.

Fear and bullying are not the way to inspire people. A few people might self deport, but the government (Trump’s regime) doesn’t understand human emotions. Some fight, some hide, some ignore everything, etc. I would hope that any “leader” wouldn’t have to use fear as their number one weapon.

DOGE is doing a terrible job. Bring your brother-in- Law to manage your household budget. Guys or gals. We didn’t put DOGE in charge of Budget. The Bill started in the House and the Senate passed it and the President signed it. President doesn’t like — too bad. Change it in Congress not DOGE

H! Thank you so much for commenting and watching my video. Please share it wherever you can and consider subscribing. My channel is relatively young but it's growing with a lot of good people. 💙

Some days I expect ICE or notice I am not getting my Social Security check. This is illogical as I was born in PA, I am 5 th generation American, and paid into SS for decades. Still I fight fear of a fascist Devil in the White House.

I fear ICE arresting me for my writing and accusing me of not being a citizen and deporting me to some hellhole with no ID and no due process. Anybody paying attention is afraid. I continue to speak out and protest. But it's hard.

Thanks to this fascist oligarch. bsky.app/profile/wash...

Good. So they will be reinstated. This is a problem but so is the problem if people receiving benefits who are not entitled. As anyone who has ever tried to fix or on board a new software system knows. There are always always corrections that have to be made.

OK, so show me one prosecution for fraud that has happened since these clowns took a chainsaw to everything. Sure, there have been cases over the years where someone put grandma in the freezer to keep getting the checks, but where is the rest of this massive fraud scheme?

We don’t always prosecute. It’s usually too small to prosecute on an individual basis. We simply stop the payments. And is it quite common - I deal with local government pension and healthcare payments. Great grandchildren with same name as Grandpa, etc etc. it’s everywhere and always.

So you're countering dozens of actual cases of people declared dead with your "invisible but trust me" cases of fraud? This admin would absolutely be prosecuting these supposed cases and putting it all over the news. So where is it.

I fear this is that it's a ruse to get these people to show up in person. Remember when cities would post the names of criminals and say they had won a lottery, and when they came to collect, they were arrested? Those were actual criminals. We know how they are treating immigrants of any status.

And next week they'll be deported because they've been flushed out and provided new addresses. And you guys won't follow up on it, because your billionaire boss likes sucking up to the Tyrant.
