> The article says the data was 'surveilled' by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and HHS in the performance of Medicare/Medicaid claims
Does this imply that undocumented aliens subject to deportation have been making claims on Medicare/Medicaid monies?

No. HHS is broader than CMMS.
Like, if these data were being used to audit the CMMS roles for illegal immigrants, that would be something. That’s not what DHS is doing because I suspect they don’t want to have to produce a report that says this was a made-up bit of electioneering.
