flag DHS seeks access to child support database for immigration enforcement, sparking privacy and trust concerns.

flag The Department of Homeland Security is seeking unprecedented access to a federal child support database containing employment and personal data on millions of Americans, including those not involved in child support cases, to aid immigration enforcement. flag The move, which could violate existing laws restricting data use to specific purposes, has raised alarms among officials and privacy advocates who warn it may erode trust in the child support system, prompting employers to stop reporting new hires and undermining support for children. flag The Department of Health and Human Services has not confirmed receiving the request, and the outcome remains uncertain amid broader concerns about government data misuse.
