The IRS is reportedly close to an agreement allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use tax data in support of deportations under Trump's administration. This proposed data-sharing deal could see undocumented immigrants' names and addresses shared with the IRS, raising significant concerns over privacy rights and power misuse. Historically, tax data has been protected to maintain confidentiality, and using it for immigration enforcement would represent a major shift in policy. More than half of undocumented immigrants file taxes, but the potential agreement threatens the trust placed in the IRS regarding taxpayer information.
The Trump administration's proposed data-sharing agreement between the IRS and immigration officials raises alarm about the potential for abuse of power and privacy erosion.
In a drastic shift, the IRS might allow ICE to use taxpayer data to aid Trump's deportation agenda, breaching long-standing trust in tax confidentiality.
