When the Trump administration falsely declared thousands of immigrants dead last year, social security champions in Congress sounded the alarm, and the Trump administration was stopped from going further.
Now, a whistleblower's report reveals a terrifying fact: The Trump administration strongly considered falsely declaring 2.7 million people dead, including children and U.S. citizens.
Moving a living person to Social Security's death master file is financial murder. You would lose access to your bank account, health insurance, and credit cards. You'd be kicked out of your home. Your life would be destroyed.
Why would Donald Trump do this? To make immigrants—including naturalized citizens—so miserable that they leave the U.S. And if they went to Social Security offices to declare that they were alive, the Trump administration planned to arrest them.
Trump and Stephen Miller are illegally weaponizing the Social Security system—and they have no respect for it, the workers who contribute to it, or its beneficiaries.
This whistleblower report shows how low Trump is willing to go. At any time, he could use his power against anyone he doesn't like.
The People United is working to elect Democrats who will protect and defend Social Security. But as a small-dollar-funded grassroots organization, we can't elect Social Security champions, flip control of Congress, and stop Trump and Miller without your help.
Will you chip in even just $1 and support our work to elect candidates who will defend, preserve, and expand Social Security? Please chip in monthly if you can.
Social Security is Americans' hard-earned benefit, not Trump's political weapon! With your help we'll keep it that way.
