Briefly

DOGE is working toward consolidating agency data to create a central database for tracking immigrants. Experts emphasize that while data sharing is common among federal agencies, it is typically limited and documented. However, there's apparent support from the Trump administration, marked by an executive order enabling broader data sharing. Leading officials, including members from DOGE, argue that such consolidation is crucial for leveraging AI technology effectively. Nonetheless, concerns arise regarding individuals becoming statistical errors in this sweeping data approach.
