A new report has revealed that a group of unelected federal bureaucrats has been undermining President Donald Trump’s authority to funnel taxpayer money to illegal aliens.
The effort was led by more than a dozen current and former Social Security Administration (SSA) officials.
The SSA officials tried to stop the Trump administration from canceling Social Security benefits for illegal aliens.
Many of those illegal aliens were released into the United States by former President Joe Biden.
The effort was revealed in a report from the Washington Post.
According to the report, the SSA officials leaked various information regarding the issue to the Post.
The leaks were seemingly an attempt to sow outrage among Americans over Trump’s policies targeting the fraudulent abuse of taxpayer funds.
Yet, the outrage is directed at Trump’s cancellation of Social Security numbers for more than 6,300 illegal aliens.
The Trump administration has been investigating how to revoke Social Security benefits for illegal aliens.
However, several bureaucrats inside the SSA pushed back on the plan behind the scenes.
Amid the pushback, an SSA technology expert, Greg Pearre, was removed from his position.
Pearre “had pushed back on the Trump administration’s plan to move the migrants’ names into a Social Security death database, eliminating their ability to legally earn wages and, officials hoped, spurring them to leave the country,” according to the Post.
“In particular, Pearre had clashed with Scott Coulter, the new chief information officer installed by Elon Musk.
“Pearre told Coulter that the plan was illegal, cruel, and risked declaring the wrong people dead, according to three people familiar with the events.
“But his objections did not go over well with Trump’s political appointees.
“And so on Thursday, the security guards in Pearre’s office told him it was time to leave.”
In another case, an SSA official resigned from his position.
The federal bureaucrat claimed the move to cancel benefits for illegal aliens was “an illegal attempt to repurpose the agency for immigration enforcement,” according to the Post.
Trump’s cancellation of Social Security benefits for thousands of illegal aliens was announced late last week.
Since then, the SSA’s Office of the General Counsel is working on a report that will, according to the Post, claim the move is a violation of privacy laws.
Most recently, the Trump administration ensured a deal between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
The deal will allow federal agents to locate, detain, and deport illegal aliens more easily by following their financial history in the U.S.
Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) officials recently stated that they found potentially millions of illegal aliens fraudulently receiving taxpayer-funded benefits.
The millions of illegals were found on Social Security and Medicaid rolls.
In addition, thousands of illegal aliens were found on voter rolls.
