    Wyoming residents can copy letters asking police and the county attorney to investigate DOGE’s handling of Social Security data under W.S. 6-3-901 and W.S. 6-3-504.

    Letters for Wyoming

    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.

    Wyoming elects a county attorney in each county (a district attorney in some counties), and that office prosecutes crimes committed there. W.S. 9-1-603(c) lets the attorney general act when a county attorney fails or refuses to act, at the request of the county commissioners or the district judge, and directs the attorney general, "upon direction of the governor," to "investigate any matter in any county of the state in which the county, state or any agency thereof may be interested."

    Already filed or written to one of these offices? Add your report so it counts, and come back with the reply when it arrives.

    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 theft of identity under W.S. 6-3-901. 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 Wyoming resident whose Social Security records are maintained by the Social Security Administration, I believe this conduct violates W.S. 6-3-901 and W.S. 6-3-504. Theft of identity covers "every person who willfully obtains personal identifying information of another person, and uses that information for any unlawful purpose" without the consent of that person (W.S. 6-3-901(a)), a felony punishable by up to ten years when the economic benefit gained or sought is $1,000 or more (6-3-901(c)(ii)). A crime against computer users covers a person who "knowingly and without authorization" accesses "a computer, computer system or computer network" (W.S. 6-3-504(a)(i)), a felony punishable by up to three years, and up to ten years when committed to execute "a scheme or artifice to defraud or to obtain property" (6-3-504(b)).

    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 Wyoming residents’ data went and who used it.

    W.S. 9-1-603(c) lets your office act when a county attorney fails or refuses to act, and 9-1-603(d) lets you assign staff to assist a county attorney in a felony prosecution. I am asking you to refer this matter to the county attorney for my county and to assist that office.
