IRS Nears Deal to Share Undocumented Immigrant Data with ICE

The proposed agreement would allow ICE to verify addresses of immigrants with final removal orders, raising legal and privacy concerns.

The IRS is close to finalizing an agreement with ICE to share taxpayer data to support the Trump administration's immigration enforcement efforts.
The deal would allow ICE to submit names and addresses of undocumented immigrants with final removal orders for confirmation by the IRS.
This marks a significant shift in federal policy, as the IRS has historically assured undocumented workers that their tax information would remain confidential.
Privacy advocates and immigrant rights groups have criticized the agreement, warning it could undermine trust in the tax system and violate federal privacy laws.
Legal challenges have already been filed to block the agreement, with opponents arguing it misuses taxpayer data for immigration enforcement.
