I would guess this extends beyond immigrants at this point given all the data they have mined from the government

The last line of the article says, "The ultimate concern is a panopticon of a single federal database with everything that the government knows about every single person in this country,” Venzke says. “What we are seeing is likely the first step in creating that centralized dossier on everyone in this country.”

The article also mentions how DOGE is integrating voting records from PA and FL.

Americans should reject this, but any administration will be tempted to keep it once such systems are made.

Exactly. "To surveil everyone"

Everyday seems more like Orwell's 1984.

"War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength."
