Trump Administration Nears Historic Deal as DOGE Reportedly Finds Millions of Illegals on Social Security Rolls​

President Donald Trump’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is nearing a historic deal with the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency that will allow agents to more efficiently locate and arrest illegal aliens already ordered deported from the United States.

The IRS-ICE agreement, which anonymous sources told Politico is close to being finalized, will see the tax revenue agency open its databases to ICE agents when they need to confirm the names and addresses of illegal aliens who have been ordered deported by a federal immigration judge.

Politico, which interviewed opponents of the plan, admits that it is likely the partnership between the IRS and ICE “may result in a short-term increase in arrests and worksite raids” that specifically target illegal aliens who federal judges say have no asylum basis to be in the U.S.

Musk says Social Security scammer who allegedly ripped off 400K Americans faces imminent arrest. What can you tell me about this?

Answer:

Elon Musk recently made a statement during a town hall event aimed at rallying support for the Wisconsin Supreme Court election, claiming that a scammer who allegedly defrauded 400,000 Americans by selling their Social Security numbers is facing imminent arrest. This was reported by Fox News on April 1, 2025. Musk, who is involved with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), did not provide specific details about the identity of the alleged scammer or the exact nature of the arrest during the event.

Musk’s comments align with his ongoing efforts through DOGE to investigate and address fraud within government systems, particularly targeting the Social Security Administration. Earlier reports from March 2025 indicate that Musk and his team have been scrutinizing Social Security for what they describe as widespread vulnerabilities to fraudulent activities, such as the submission of fake Social Security numbers to claim federal benefits. However, no concrete evidence or official confirmation from authorities like the Department of Justice has been publicly detailed in relation to this specific claim of an imminent arrest as of the latest updates.

The broader context suggests Musk has been vocal about Social Security fraud, claiming it’s a significant issue based on DOGE’s findings. Posts on X from April 1, 2025, echo this sentiment, with users referencing Musk’s statement and some linking it to broader concerns about identity theft and financial fraud schemes. However, without additional specifics—like the scammer’s identity, the timeline of the alleged crimes, or law enforcement statements—it’s unclear how immediate or substantiated the arrest claim is at this moment.

Given the current date of April 1, 2025, and the timing of Musk’s statement, it’s possible more information could emerge soon if an arrest does occur. For now, the claim rests primarily on Musk’s public assertion, with limited independent verification available.

Today is April 1st. Let's wait and see if anything comes of Musk's assertation.

Federal Judge Allows DOGE to Take Over $500 Million Office Building for Free​

It’s the culmination of a weeks-long standoff between Elon Musk’s DOGE team and the United States Institute of Peace.

On Tuesday, US district judge Beryl Howell effectively allowed the transfer of the headquarters building of the United States Institute of Peace to the General Services Administration.

In fact, the building—and all of the property inside it—had already been transferred on Saturday, according to Howell’s ruling. “The deal is no longer merely ‘proposed’ but done,” Howell wrote, “rendering plaintiffs’ requested relief moot as to that property.”
