President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency pushed to declare nearly 3 million living people dead as part of an effort to drive illegal immigrants out of the country, according to a new report.
The plan, which officials say never went into effect, would have placed scores of people — including some U.S. citizens — into the Social Security Administration’s “Death Master File,” effectively deleting them from the American financial system, jeopardizing their ability to access wages, benefits and banking services.
