FWIW, people here illegally are already not eligible for Medicaid, [0] so it's hard to see why ICE having access to a roster of Medicaid enrollees would help them with their stated mission of enforcing removal orders.
Then again, we have ICE shooting American citizens in the streets, so I guess the law is whatever they decide it is, not least because our legislative branch is uninterested in laws.

- financetechbro 9mo agoThis is really insane levels of evil.

Presumably, it's because a lot of them are getting Medicaid despite not being eligible to. Isn't the point of every audit, investigation, etc. to find things that aren't being done correctly?
- mikeyouse 9mo agoICE isn’t auditing Medicaid FFS. And no, there’s absolutely no evidence they’re getting access to Medicaid. They’re single mindedly looking for undocumented immigrants to deport.

- sethherr 9mo agoNot true. NYTimes had reported on it
- fendy3002 9mo agoif there are massive frauds, DOGE should've revealed that. The fact that people keep spewing no investigation while there should be several times shows how ignorant people is.
- ljsprague 9mo agoDOGE would have found everything.
- datsci_est_2015 9mo agoThis comment doesn’t provide enough context for us to infer what you really mean. You should provide a second clause saying, “if …”.
- newfriend 9mo agoThey're also not eligible to be living in the US, yet here we are.
- callamdelaney 9mo agoThe key issue wilfully ignored by the mob.
- rat87 9mo agoAnd yet we do nothing to punish the actual criminals, the employees who knowingly higher then abuse them. Why don't we deport Trump, Trump tower wouldn't even be around without polish workers who were here illegally

- rat87 9mo agoExcept neither of the two most prominent people shot were fighting LEA. They were opposing illegal actions of ICE but they were not fighting
- mothballed 9mo agoHe opposed ICE by ... peacefully kneeling over, surrendering his arms, offering his head for execution, and going out with a quiet whimper. It's likely a strong moral boost to ICE; I think he helped than more than hurt them. They're emboldened now that they know their opponents will just hand over their guns and die.

- noah_buddy 9mo agoLiterally would not matter if he were violent prior to being shot. By the time that they shot him, he was face down on the floor and disarmed. That’s illegal in basically any context. It’s an execution.

- callamdelaney 9mo agoCare to expand?
- tlogan 9mo agoI just want to clarify why this is not so straightforward. It really depends on how the term “illegal alien” is defined. Before BBB July 4, Medicare covered the following groups: - Refugees - Asylum seekers - Immigration parolees - TPS holders - DACA recipients Under the Trump administration, the following groups are now considered illegal aliens: - Asylum seekers with pending claims or those whose claims were denied - Immigration parolees - Certain categories of TPS holders (for example South Sudanese TPS ended Jan 6 2026 so all people under that protection are ordered to leave) - Certain categories of DACA recipients And the above people are probably registered for medicare with full name and address.
- xracy 9mo agoOOC do you have any sources for what the current administration considers illegal aliens? Genuinely curious if they've published this information.
- Quarrelsome 9mo agobear in mind that ICE are forcibly deporting people in the process of applying for green cards whose lawyers have assured them that a lapsed VISA isn't an issue (it never used to be) as they have married an American citizen and maybe even have children with them. A robotics engineer from Germany was forcibly deported a few months back because ICE were waiting for him at the immigration office when he went to visit to further the application.
