I didn’t get the article completely. Is ICE using Medicaid data to identify citizens or is it using it to identify people not legally in the country?
Medicaid is meant to be used only by citizens and green card holders who are eligible to be citizens.
I’m also confused. I think the Medicaid data might just be one additional source they’ve added to a data lake style system, which they pull from for some reporting based on address?
So if ICE puts your address into their computer, they get to see something about the people inside. How much do they see? Do they get to see your medical conditions too? Could a creatively inclined person get an LLM to read medical data out of it? Who knows, there’s no transparency for this sharing.
