Whistleblower alleges DOGE plan would have marked 2.7M living people as deceased
A whistleblower claims a Department of Government Efficiency plan involved incorrectly marking millions of living individuals as dead for immigration enforcement purposes.

A whistleblower has alleged that a plan associated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would have resulted in 2.7 million living people being incorrectly marked as deceased in government systems.
According to the whistleblower's claims, this action was intended as part of a broader immigration enforcement initiative. The specific details of how such a plan would have been implemented or its intended outcomes have not been fully disclosed.
The Department of Government Efficiency, led by Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy, was established to identify areas for reducing government spending and improving operational efficiency. The department has not yet responded to requests for comment regarding these allegations.
The whistleblower's identity and position within the government have not been publicly revealed. It remains unclear what stage of development or consideration this alleged plan had reached within DOGE or related agencies.
If accurate, such a plan would raise significant concerns about the protection of civil liberties and the accuracy of government records systems that affect millions of Americans' access to services and benefits.
