The IRS is nearing an agreement with ICE to share taxpayer information for locating illegal immigrants with removal orders. This marks a shift from longstanding IRS confidentiality policies.
- ICE can cross-check names and addresses of targeted individuals against tax records.
- Only Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting ICE Director Todd Lyons can authorize requests.
- Concerns arise over privacy breaches and potential reduced tax compliance from illegal immigrants.
- This aligns with the Trump administration’s immigration enforcement priorities.
Finalization is pending, as neither agency has commented on the matter yet.
