The actions of the so-called Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) in accessing personal data of disaster survivors without their knowledge or consent is deeply concerning. When citizens provide sensitive information to agencies like FEMA, they do so with the expectation that it will be handled securely and used solely for legitimate purposes related to disaster relief. The revelation that this data has been shared with an unaccountable entity like DOGE represents a potential violation of federal privacy laws and a breach of public trust. It is crucial that FEMA provide complete transparency regarding the nature and extent of DOGE's access to disaster survivors' personal information. The agency must clarify what types of data have been obtained, the individuals who have been authorized to access this data, and the purposes for which it has been used. Given the lack of oversight and vetting processes for DOGE agents, there are valid fears that this sensitive information could be misused or mishandled. Furthermore, the legality of DOGE's very existence is questionable, as it appears to be an extra-constitutional body operating outside the bounds of established government agencies. An unelected and unaccountable department should not have unfettered access to the personal data of American citizens, especially in the context of a crisis where individuals are at their most vulnerable. I urge you to take immediate action to investigate this matter thoroughly and to ensure that the privacy rights of disaster survivors are protected. Any unauthorized access or misuse of personal data must be addressed with appropriate consequences. It is imperative that the public's trust in government agencies be restored and that citizens can feel secure in seeking assistance during times of crisis without fear of their information being compromised.
