IRS set to ink deal with ICE for access to illegal alien tax information: report

A new interagency agreement could see taxpayer data put to use facilitating deportation efforts as career bureaucrats cry over a supposed “complete betrayal.”

Even before President Donald Trump officially returned to the White House, the administration made clear their mission concerning mass deportations and encouraged illegal aliens to self-deport. After two months on the job, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is said to be on the verge of a deal with the Internal Revenue Service toward further removals courtesy of illegal alien tax filings.

According to a report from the Washington Post, the IRS has nearly inked an arrangement with ICE wherein the tax-collecting agency will fork over names and addresses of suspected illegal aliens said to be “subject to criminal investigation.”

The Post detailed, “If approved, the agreement would represent a significant shift in how federal agencies manage both taxpayer information and immigration enforcement. The IRS has for years reassured undocumented workers that their tax information is confidential and that it is safe for them to file income tax returns without fear of being deported.”

“About half — possibly more — of the roughly 11 million undocumented immigrants in the country file income tax returns to document their payments to the U.S. government,” added the report citing “researchers” for the figures.

Naturally, the latest upset to the establishment applecart had the swamp up in arms as one anonymous IRS official told the newspaper, “It’s a complete betrayal of 30 years of the government telling immigrants to file their taxes.”

That source wasn’t alone as the report indicated how the “proposed agreement has alarmed career officials at the IRS, the people said, who worry that the arrangement risks abusing a narrow and seldom-used section of the privacy law that’s meant to help investigators build criminal cases, not enforce criminal penalties.”

Additionally, then-acting IRS Commissioner Doug O’Donnell retired the day after rejecting a request from Homeland Security for data on some 700,000 suspected illegal aliens.

As it was explained that the draft agreement would require requests to be submitted to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem or acting ICE Director Todd Lyons, border czar Tom Homan continued to tear into the bleeding hearts sobbing over national sovereignty being restored.

“Due process,” began Homan when the issue was brought up by ABC News’s Jonathan Karl during a “This Week” appearance, “where is Laken Riley’s due process? Where are all these young women killed and raped by members of [Tren de Aragua]? Where was their due process? The young woman on the subway, where is her due process?”

The administration official was specifically responding to pushback on the recent deportation of scores of alleged gang members to a prison in El Salvador that U.S. District Judge James Boasberg attempted to thwart with an injunction that followed an emergency hearing as the flights were already over international waters.

“The bottom line is, that plane was full of people designated as terrorists, number one,” added Homan. “Number two, every Venezuelan migrant on that flight was a TdA member based on numerous criminal investigations, on intelligence reports, and a lot of work by ICE officers.”
