White House tapping into federal, state, local databases for immigrant info, report says
- The Trump administration launched the Department of Government Efficiency to access federal, state, and local databases for immigrant information by 2025.
- This initiative stems from efforts to break down data silos and gather information on undocumented immigrants, with some legal challenges against database access ongoing.
- The department accesses sensitive data including taxes, health records, voter information, and benefit usage to support immigration enforcement actions like prosecutions and deportations.
- In March 2025, federal prosecutors filed immigration-related charges against 4,550 individuals, marking a 36% rise in cases compared to February, though these numbers are still lower than the peak levels seen during the early Trump administration.
- These initiatives are intended to support widespread detention and removal of deportable noncitizens and to foster an environment that encourages immigrants to leave voluntarily.
