The IRS is reportedly close to finalizing a deal that would allow Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to use tax data for deportation actions against undocumented immigrants. This proposed agreement, which has faced criticism for eroding privacy rights, would mark a significant shift in how tax information is used, moving from a protective, confidential database to a potential tool for immigration enforcement. Concerns have been raised about the implications of such a move, as it may compromise the long-standing trust in the confidentiality of tax records.
The proposed data-sharing agreement, involving the IRS and ICE, could lead to a significant breach of taxpayer confidentiality and raise concerns about privacy rights.
This potential shift in the use of tax data by immigration officials marks a newfound intersection of tax and immigration enforcement that could violate long-standing trust.
