The Social Security Administration (SSA) has taken on a significant role in President Donald Trump’s stringent immigration enforcement agenda, marking it as one of the latest federal agencies to contribute to his overarching deportation policies. The SSA is currently scrutinizing hundreds of thousands of migrants who were granted temporary parole status during the Biden administration— a status that enabled these individuals to obtain Social Security numbers and seek legal employment in the U.S. Under the Trump administration, these cases are being reexamined to identify those who may no longer qualify to stay in the country.
"This is the Trump administration utilizing every resource at its disposal to combat illegal immigration," stated Tom Jones, executive director of the American Accountability Foundation, in an interview with Fox News Digital. This development underscores Trump's commitment to his 2024 campaign pledge to reinforce border security and retract benefits provided through Biden-era executive orders.
Migrants who obtained work authorization through the parole program now face reviews for potential removal if they do not satisfy the stringent legal criteria outlined by Trump’s Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Critics suggest that this move may encounter legal challenges, especially from immigrant advocacy organizations, while supporters argue it is an essential reversal of what they perceive as excessive leniency that granted federal benefits to non-citizens without permanent status.
Trump's message is unequivocal: no federal agency will remain untouched, and all elements of the government must comply with enforcing immigration laws and safeguarding taxpayer-funded resources.
