A senior executive at the Social Security Administration was physically dragged from his office this week after clashing with DOGE, according to The Washington Post.
Greg Pearre, a career civil servant who led an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, was removed over his opposition to a DOGE plan to cut off immigrants from key financial services, three people told the Post.
The scheme cooked up by Elon Musk’s DOGE squad falsely lists thousands of migrants as dead in a Social Security database known as the “death master file.”
Being entered into the death database cuts a person off from crucial financial services, like the ability to receive government benefits and access a bank account or credit card.
Ok, but only legal immigrants are being affected by this. Illegal immigrants already don’t receive any federal government benefits, you get that right? There are no programs through social security that illegal immigrants can receive or benefit from. So you are cheering on an action from DOGE that only hurts legal immigrants, and I’m just confused on why you think that’s a good thing.
