Adam Schiff

Adam Schiff is a US Senator. He is newsworthy due to his recent concerns regarding data collection practices within the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). Specifically, Schiff has expressed alarm in a letter to the VA and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following a report that the VA was gathering data on its "non-citizen" workforce. He is concerned that this data collection, some of which the VA indicated could be shared with other agencies for immigration enforcement purposes, represents a thinly veiled effort to instill fear. His actions are relevant as they highlight ongoing debates about immigration enforcement, data privacy, and the role of government agencies in collecting and sharing personal information.
