Overview

• 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.
