President Trump on Tuesday signed a flurry of executive orders.
One executive order is aimed at banning illegal aliens from getting Social Security benefits.
Earlier this month DOGE executive Antonio Gracias, the founder of Valor Equity Partners, revealed shocking information on how illegal aliens and even violent illegal aliens are accessing government benefits and even voting.
“We mapped it through to the benefit programs. We found in the benefit programs that every benefit program that was being accessed by these people, 1.3 million of them are on Medicaid right now, today. And by the way, it’s just ramping. It’s just starting. Just to give you a point. And then out of curiosity, I woke up at 2: 00 in the morning. I couldn’t sleep. My mind was running on this. I sent the individual note saying, Hey, guys, let’s just look at the public voter rolls who we find in some friendly states. And we looked at the voter rolls, and we found that thousands of them were registered to vote in a handful of states. And then we went in further with those friendly states and found that many of those people had actually voted. It was shocking to us,” Antonio Gracias said on a podcast interview.
DOGE has also launched an unprecedented cleanup operation after it was revealed over 7 million supposed Social Security numberholders aged 120 and older were receiving benefits.
On Tuesday President Trump signed an executive order to ensure ineligible aliens are not receiving funds from Social Security Act programs.

Jonathan Turley Says Trump Admin Has ‘Good Faith Reasons’ For Claiming ‘Authority’ To Deport Biden Parolees
George Washington University law professor Jonathan Turley said on Tuesday that President Donald Trump’s administration has “good faith reasons” for asserting it can deport migrants who entered the United States under a former President Joe Biden-era program.
Foreign nationals paroled into the U.S. using the CBP One app have gotten final termination notices and need to self-deport or else face daily fines and forcible removal, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation on April 8. Turley, on “America’s Newsroom,” said the Trump administration’s claim to have the power to reverse the parole rests on Biden using “executive authority” to establish it.
“What they’re saying is, ‘Look, Joe Biden created this out of executive authority. And we have stopped it out of executive authority. We believe that it’s riddled with fraud and that it’s harmful to the government’s interests,’” Turley said. “And this court has said, ‘No, these people are here now and you have to make this individual determination.’”
“It’s a very novel question. I would not call this opinion an exercise of judicial tyranny,” he continued. “But there are good faith reasons here why the administration is saying that they have the authority to do this.”
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani ruled on Monday that over 530,000 immigrants from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua and Venezuela can stay in the United States, temporarily blocking the DHS from revoking their legal status and work permits, according to the New York Post.
Turley said the case will probably head to the Supreme Court.
“The administration is likely trying to get there as fast as possible. But part of the problem here for the administration is that if you allow the two years to run out and these people haven’t applied for legal status and they stay here, they go into the usual formal process for deportation,” he said. “And we all know that a lot of people don’t even get trial dates for eight years.”
“And so they’re saying that one of the reasons they wanted to cut this short is because under the existing program, they can expedite deportation,” he continued. “If they’re here after that runs, they’re afraid that they’re going to go into the usual system and we’ve got another half million people that are hard to remove.”
The Trump administration sent termination notices in March to the hundreds of thousands of migrants who entered the U.S. through the CHNV parole program, which began under the Biden administration.
Republican lawmakers accused the Biden administration of using CHNV as a way to loosen pressure on the southern border, enabling foreign nationals to fly into the country en masse rather than crossing a border that was already chaotic. The program was so riddled with fraud that the Biden White House had to pause it following an internal audit that found a slew of discrepancies from applicants and their sponsors.
