VA Building Database to Track Non-Citizen Workers

The Department of Veterans Affairs is creating a new database to track non-U.S. citizens connected to the agency, including doctors, nurses, contractors, and veterans. This directive, issued in a memo, aims to comply with federal trusted workforce vetting requirements and may involve sharing data with other agencies for immigration enforcement. However, the broad wording of the directive has raised concerns about potential impacts on recruitment and patient care, as it could affect legally authorized workers and foreign-born medical professionals.
