You need to investigate and shut down DHS's "Unlawful Voter Initiative" immediately. A whistleblower report delivered to Senator Alex Padilla confirms that DHS agents are illegally accessing state voter rolls by impersonating voters and entering people's Social Security numbers and birthdates into state websites — a direct violation of laws in multiple states that restrict that access to the voter themselves.
This isn't just an illegal data grab. It's a sloppy one. Agents are working through a 40-person-a-day quota, spending roughly 12 minutes per person. The whistleblower warns that naturalized citizens are being flagged as "unlawful voters" because old alien identification numbers still appear on their records. Senator Padilla put it plainly: this process will produce false positives. DHS's defense — "it's not rocket science" — is not a legal justification for mishandling the private data of millions of Americans.
This is voter suppression dressed up as election security. I want you to demand a full investigation, support legislative action to block this program, and protect every eligible voter from being wrongly stripped of their rights.
