DOGE Gets Access to Sensitive Data for Millions of Migrants

Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) has reportedly been granted access to sensitive immigration case data.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) gave permission to a team of six DOGE “advisors” to access the Executive Office for Immigration Review’s Courts and Appeals System (ECAS) on Friday, according to documents seen by The Washington Post.

ECAS includes millions of confidential records from immigration court cases, ranging from asylum claims to personal biographical information.

It is not explicitly clear what DOGE’s mission with this data is but it could be part of President Donald Trump‘s to crack down on illegal immigration.

It comes after The Post’s reports last week about DOGE, along with U.S. immigration officials, seeking to use a sensitive Medicare database as part of their crackdown on undocumented immigrants.

The database is believed to keep a record of personal information, including addresses, beneficiary information, Medicare claims and more.
