    Kansas residents can copy letters asking police and the county attorney to investigate DOGE’s handling of Social Security data under K.S.A. 21-6107 and K.S.A. 21-5839.

    Letters for Kansas

    These letters are activist material published by The Existentialist Republic. They are not legal advice, and The Existentialist Republic does not act as legal counsel for anyone who files. Each reader decides whether and when to file.

    Kansas elects a county attorney in each county for a four-year term (K.S.A. 19-701); the largest counties elect a district attorney instead. K.S.A. 75-702(b) directs the attorney general, "when required by the governor or either branch of the legislature," to "appear for the state and prosecute or defend, in any other court or before any officer, in any cause or matter, civil or criminal."

    Write your two personal parts once

    Every letter starts with your own opening and ends with your own closing, so no two letters arrive identical. The copy buttons switch on once both are filled in.

    If you are a federal employee or hold a security clearance, you can leave out the police report and send the other letters. Send them from a personal email account on your own time, and sign as a private resident without a job title.

    Letter 1, optional: the police report

    To the [police department or sheriff’s office]:

    [Your opening: where you live and why this matters to you, in one to three sentences.]

    I am reporting suspected identity theft under K.S.A. 21-6107. The Social Security Administration holds my personal information, including in the agency’s Numident file.

    On Jan. 16, 2026, Justice Department lawyers filed a Notice of Corrections to the Record in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration, No. 1:25-cv-00596 (D. Md.), ECF 197. The Social Security Administration reported that the agency’s former Department of Government Efficiency team, known as DOGE, took actions “potentially outside of SSA policy and/or noncompliant with” a March 20, 2025, court order. From March 7 to March 17, 2025, team members shared data through Cloudflare, a third-party server, and the agency has not been able to determine what was shared. On March 3, 2025, a team member emailed the Department of Homeland Security an encrypted file and copied a senior adviser to the U.S. DOGE Temporary Organization and a DOGE-affiliated Labor Department employee. The agency believes the file held personal information, including names and addresses, of about 1,000 people, and the agency has been unable to open it. A team member signed a “Voter Data Agreement” with a political group seeking “to find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States.” On March 24, 2025, four days after the court order, a team member searched personal data in the Numident, the agency’s master file of Social Security numbers. In an Aug. 26, 2025, whistleblower disclosure, Charles Borges, then the agency’s chief data officer, said DOGE staff copied the Numident, with records on more than 300 million Americans, to a cloud environment without independent oversight. In March 2026, the agency’s Office of the Inspector General notified congressional committee leaders of a review of “the potential misuse of SSA data by a former DOGE employee.” On April 10, 2026, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit vacated a preliminary injunction for lack of irreparable harm without ruling on whether DOGE’s access was lawful. U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ordered discovery, including depositions, on April 14, 2026, and on June 26, 2026, refused to withdraw the order, writing that the government “may have ‘provided patently false information to the district court.’”

    Please take this report and forward it to the [County] County Attorney.

    Letter 2: the county attorney

    Dear County Attorney [last name]:

    [Your opening.]

    I am asking your office to open a criminal investigation into the conduct described below. The Social Security Administration holds my personal information, including in the agency’s Numident file.

    On Jan. 16, 2026, Justice Department lawyers filed a Notice of Corrections to the Record in AFSCME v. Social Security Administration, No. 1:25-cv-00596 (D. Md.), ECF 197. The Social Security Administration reported that the agency’s former Department of Government Efficiency team, known as DOGE, took actions “potentially outside of SSA policy and/or noncompliant with” a March 20, 2025, court order. From March 7 to March 17, 2025, team members shared data through Cloudflare, a third-party server, and the agency has not been able to determine what was shared. On March 3, 2025, a team member emailed the Department of Homeland Security an encrypted file and copied a senior adviser to the U.S. DOGE Temporary Organization and a DOGE-affiliated Labor Department employee. The agency believes the file held personal information, including names and addresses, of about 1,000 people, and the agency has been unable to open it. A team member signed a “Voter Data Agreement” with a political group seeking “to find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States.” On March 24, 2025, four days after the court order, a team member searched personal data in the Numident, the agency’s master file of Social Security numbers. In an Aug. 26, 2025, whistleblower disclosure, Charles Borges, then the agency’s chief data officer, said DOGE staff copied the Numident, with records on more than 300 million Americans, to a cloud environment without independent oversight. In March 2026, the agency’s Office of the Inspector General notified congressional committee leaders of a review of “the potential misuse of SSA data by a former DOGE employee.” On April 10, 2026, the full U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit vacated a preliminary injunction for lack of irreparable harm without ruling on whether DOGE’s access was lawful. U.S. District Judge Ellen Lipton Hollander ordered discovery, including depositions, on April 14, 2026, and on June 26, 2026, refused to withdraw the order, writing that the government “may have ‘provided patently false information to the district court.’”

    As a Kansas resident whose Social Security records are maintained by the Social Security Administration, I believe this conduct violates K.S.A. 21-6107 and K.S.A. 21-5839. Identity theft covers "obtaining, possessing, transferring, using, selling or purchasing any personal identifying information, or document containing the same, belonging to or issued to another person, with the intent to" defraud that person or anyone else (K.S.A. 21-6107(a)), a severity level 8 nonperson felony. Unlawful acts concerning computers (K.S.A. 21-5839) covers unauthorized access to and taking of data from a computer system, a severity level 8 nonperson felony and a severity level 5 nonperson felony "if the monetary loss to the victim or victims is more than $100,000." A prosecution "for any crime committed with an electronic device may be brought in the county in which" the victim resides (K.S.A. 22-2619(b)), and most felony charges may be filed within five years (K.S.A. 21-5107).

    In Colorado v. Symes, 286 U.S. 510 (1932), the U.S. Supreme Court held that federal officers “are not, merely because they are such, granted immunity from prosecution in state courts for crimes against state law.” The immunity recognized in In re Neagle, 135 U.S. 1 (1890), covers acts federal law authorizes that were necessary and proper to the officer’s duty, and the agency has said this conduct was potentially outside agency policy. The plaintiffs in the civil lawsuits seek court orders, and criminal charges require a prosecutor. The president’s pardon power applies only to “Offences against the United States” (U.S. Const. art. II, sec. 2), and in Gamble v. United States, 587 U.S. 678 (2019), the Supreme Court reaffirmed that each state prosecutes crimes under its own law as a separate sovereign. In April 2026, the Hennepin County Attorney’s Office in Minnesota charged a federal immigration officer with assault under state law.

    I am asking you to use subpoenas to learn where Kansas residents’ data went and who used it.

I am asking you to act on any request the governor sends under that statute, and to tell me which request your office needs.

    Letter 4: the governor

    Dear Governor [last name]:

    [Your opening.]

    The Social Security Administration holds my personal information, including in the agency’s Numident file.

    Under K.S.A. 75-702(b), the attorney general appears for the state and prosecutes a criminal matter when required by the governor. I am asking you to require the attorney general to open a criminal investigation into this conduct.
