Trump administration invalidates Social Security numbers of immigrants, pushing them to "self deport"
CBSN
The Social Security Administration this week began to classify thousands of immigrants with temporary legal status and Social Security numbers as dead, according to three sources familiar.
The move essentially cancels an immigrant's Social Security number and is equivalent to a financial death, as financial institutions rely on updated Social Security data to verify identities and deaths and may cut off access for these individuals.
This move was first reported by The New York Times.
