It was entirely clear this is what they were doing. They say it's about immigrants but nothing would stop them from using this on citizens. It's a clear violation of the privacy act. They're combining databases from DHS, HHS, SSA, and IRS to surveil everyone. www.wired.com/story/doge-c...
DOGE Is Building a Master Database to Surveil and Track Immigrants

The library and the post office are the only two systems we have that circulate things widely and to everyone, no matter who they are or what they believe. The library is the only one that, for now, is not forced to pay for itself at point of sale. Attacks on IMLS are attacks on every one of us.
MUST-WATCH: This is the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil from the perspective of his wife, who is 8 months pregnant. This is federal agents in plain clothes dragging a man from his home as punishment for his speech. @nyclu.org @ccrjustice.org @theimeu.bsky.social

It is perfectly legal to know your rights and to educate others about them, too. EVERYONE in the United States, citizen or not, has rights. I will not allow this administration to intimidate us from helping you know about them. Here’s our shareable guide ⬇️: (pt. 1/2)

“opened the throttle on blowing through apparent legal limits, often with no clear public explanation for how their actions could be consistent with the rule of law” wow what word salad for “doing illegal things,” “executive overreach,” or “staging a coup”
