President Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has been granted access to a Department of Justice system that contains information on the case histories of millions of legal and illegal immigrants.

The system, created in 2018, “supports the full life cycle of an immigration case” by maintaining “all records and case-related documents in electronic format,” according to the DOJ’s website.

The team included former hedge fund staffer Adam Hoffman, as well as Payton Rehling and Jon Koval, both of whom work at a private-equity firm tied to DOGE chief Elon Musk, the Post reported. The team also includes Marko Elez, who resigned from the government in February after The Wall Street Journal linked him to a deleted social media account that allegedly made racist posts. He was rehired after Musk dismissed the significance of the posts.
