Reported: Veterans Affairs to share immigration data about non-citizen workers with other agencies

  1. Original Date Announced

    December 3, 2025

    The 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." As explanation, the "VA is required by federal law to continuously vet all employees and affiliates . . . to ensure they meet the federal government’s trusted workforce standards.”

    VA chief of staff Christopher Syrek issued a memo on November 25, 2025, tasking the Office of Operations, Security, and Preparedness to provide the VA Secretary with a report of all non-U.S. citizens by December 30, 2025.
