Trump Administration's New Measures to Encourage Self-Deportation

The Trump administration's controversial approach to immigration includes adding immigrants without legal status to a database of deceased individuals. This action will render their Social Security numbers unusable, pushing them towards self-deportation. Additional measures include monetary fines and property seizures for non-compliant migrants.

The Trump administration is implementing strategies to influence self-deportation by targeting immigrants lacking legal status, a source informed Reuters. By enlisting them in a database for deceased persons, the immigrants' Social Security numbers will effectively become invalid.

This tactic targets those who were legally admitted under the Biden administration but later faced a revocation of their temporary status. The administration's aim is to restrict access to financial systems, effectively urging self-deportation through economic pressure, the New York Times revealed.

The inclusion of over 6,300 individuals on this list, marked as criminals or suspected terrorists, highlights President Trump's use of personal data to curb immigration numbers. Recent agreements between federal agencies aim to bolster these efforts amidst significant resignations from top tax officials.
