In a sweeping move, the Trump administration has announced a series of policies designed to restrict access to Social Security benefits for undocumented immigrants. Notably, officials have listed thousands of immigrants as deceased, prompting critics to decry the actions as a means of coercing self-deportation. This ‘death list’ appears to be part of a broader strategy to make life increasingly challenging for undocumented individuals in the U.S., including potential revocation of their Social Security numbers. In related news, Trump is preparing to sign a memorandum that prohibits immigrants living illegally in the U.S. from receiving Social Security benefits, further igniting debates on the ethical implications of using Social Security records as a tool for immigration enforcement. Advocates are rallying against these measures, labeling them as an unprecedented abuse of power aimed at exploiting Social Security for deportation purposes.
