Miles Collins
Exited govt: 8/XX/25 (self-reported)
Before working for DOGE, Miles Collins worked for a financial firm and also ran a fertility clinic in Los Angeles. This might be his connection to Musk, who has had stridently pro-natalist politics. His focus at the Department of Labor has reportedly been on spending and obligations. Unlike other members of DOGE hired at the DOL – Marko Elez and Aram Moghaddassi – he does not seem to have been detailed to other agencies, and it’s unclear what he has been doing recently. In April, he was given access to multiple sensitive databases focused on immigrant populations, likely in support of DOGE’s anti-immigrant surveillance project.
