Unless the stolen data is being used to compile lists of enemies of the state to send to the gulag. Like are any of these troublesome trade unionists immigrants? Time to send them to the gulag, solves two problems at one - that’s efficiency!

Unfortunately close to a new lawsuit where a H1B employee at Tesla reported a serious safety issue and Musk allegedly threatened to deport her entire team.. > About a decade ago, engineer Cristina Balan called out a safety concern about a design flaw on a Tesla vehicle. Shortly after, Balan says she was forced to resign. Now, she's explaining the leverage Tesla allegedly used to get her signature. > At Tesla CEO Elon Musk's own request, Balan went straight to the top to solve a problem in 2014, which involved floor mats in the Model S curling near the pedals, affecting braking. But instead of being granted a meeting with Musk, "HR and the legal department had another plan for me," Balan said in an interview with Times Radio over the weekend. > "They told me that if I'm not resigning on the spot, they will deport my entire team…because the entire interior team was backing me up," said Balan, who is from Romania and has said many of her team members were waiting on green card applications. "And their plan—Tesla's plan and legal department plan—was to convince the entire team and myself to close the internal investigation that we opened in the company to fix a serious safety issue." Notably, Tesla has been among the leading employers of H-1B visa holders, who perform work in specialty occupations. https://www.chron.com/culture/article/tesla-engineer-deportation-threat-20286356.php https://www.chron.com/culture/article/tesla-engineer-deporta...

  More evidence for the idea that H-1B visas are abusive, the tying of a work permit to a particular employer.

Fun fact to consider: when you apply for citizenship, you have to list which organizations you're a member of on the form you submit to USCIS. This includes trade unions and political parties and such. Failure to complete that form truthfully is potential grounds for denaturalization in the future (on the basis that citizenship was obtained through fraud and thus was never valid). Given that this administration has already talked about denaturalization a lot, I wouldn't put it past them to cross-reference those forms with any databases they can get their hands on.
