The Department of Homeland Security requested the Social Security Administration to enter more than 6,000 names of immigrants into its database used to track dead people, according to a DHS official with knowledge of the decision.

A senior executive who objected was marched out of his office and put on leave, while earlier warnings about the agency’s deaths database were ignored.
