"The request was simple on paper: DHS wants access to DMV records and the right to move that data through Nlets, the national law-enforcement network, so it can plug the information into SAVE, its citizenship-verification system." But "once DMV records are inside that pipeline, they don’t stay put."
They’re Building a National Tracking System. Quietly.

Trump: They were perfect like my phone call where I got impeached.
Reporter: Can you tell us what they were looking at?
Trump: I have no idea. It was just an MRI. It wasn’t the brain because I took a cognitive test and aced it.
