President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement is about to get a high-powered boost as Elon Musk’s DOGE goons are tinkering away on a “master database” to speed up the identification, detention, and deportation of undocumented migrants, CNN has reported.
The project is mining sensitive data from across various federal government departments—including the IRS, Social Security Administration, and Health and Human Services—with help from Palantir Technologies, the controversial Silicon Valley data analytics firm co-founded by Trump ally Peter Thiel.
Sources who spoke with CNN under anonymity describe it as an unprecedented attempt to centralize personal information from multiple agencies into a single source. Officials say the aim is to generate rapid “targeting lists” for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations. Critics, however, warn it could amount to a civil liberties disaster.
