December 3, 2025The Guardian reports that the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is creating a new internal database of non-U.S. citizens "employed or affiliated" with the department, including full-time and part-time employees, contractors, health- professional trainees, and volunteers. A VA spokesperson stated that the "VA will share any adverse findings with the appropriate agencies to ensure anyone who is not authorized to be in the US is dealt with accordingly."
