💨 Abstract

The Trump administration is classifying thousands of legally residing immigrants as dead and cancelling their Social Security numbers as an escalation of their crackdown on immigrants. This move will make it difficult for affected immigrants to access essential services like banks and schools, as a Social Security number is required for these. The White House argues this will deter illegal immigration, but critics call it "digital murder" and a violation of privacy rights.
