DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has requested IRS resources to bolster immigration enforcement, specifically to investigate human trafficking networks using IRS investigators. This request leverages the IRS's recent workforce expansion. The memo emphasizes that IRS law enforcement personnel could shift from tax enforcement to support DHS operations, potentially easing tax evasion opportunities. Noem is also exploring further measures for mass deportation, suggesting serious implications for both immigration and tax enforcement under the Trump administration's plans.
The IRS has around 2,100 employees tasked with enforcing tax law and making arrests, if necessary, of those who evade paying taxes.
Noem's memo specifically requested that the IRS allow DHS to utilize IRS investigators to assist in investigating financial ties to human trafficking and immigrant employment.
