The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) is reportedly shifting its policy to assist Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in locating undocumented immigrants slated for deportation. According to sources, a draft agreement would allow the IRS to confirm whether ICE has correct home addresses, a move made possible by the Trump administration's recent changes in I.R.S. leadership. Traditionally, the IRS has protected taxpayer information vigorously, resisting previous attempts by the Department of Homeland Security to share details. Nevertheless, many undocumented immigrants file taxes, providing the IRS information about their living conditions, which could now be leveraged for deportation efforts.
The I.R.S. is preparing to assist immigration officials in locating undocumented immigrants pursuing deportation by verifying addresses, a departure from its previous stance on taxpayer information.
As part of a new agreement, the I.R.S. may now use taxpayer information to confirm the addresses of individuals ordered to be deported, which was previously resisted.
