DHS officials ask IRS to use tax data to locate up to 7 million immigrants

Federal immigration officials are seeking to locate up to 7 million people suspected of being in the United States unlawfully by accessing confidential tax data at the Internal Revenue Service, according to six people familiar with the request, a dramatic escalation in how the Trump administration aims to use the tax system to detain and deport immigrants.

Officials from the Department of Homeland Security had previously sought the IRS’s help in finding 700,000 people who are subject to final removal orders, and they had asked the IRS to use closely guarded taxpayer data systems to provide names and addresses.

The two agencies have still not reached an agreement on how much data or how the IRS would share it.

But immigration enforcement officials on Thursday increased the volume of their request, according to the people familiar with it, who spoke on the condition of anonymity out of fear of professional reprisal. DHS officials initially said they would send preliminary queries about 2 million taxpayers and would eventually seek help locating 7 million individuals, the people said.

- be a good immigrant they said. pay your taxes they said.

Acting IRS Commissioner Melanie Krause has told subordinates that she expects the agency to ultimately comply with the Trump administration’s aim of using IRS systems to help in immigration enforcement, The Post has reported.

- so ICE is about to know undoc workers names, address and the employers' info in one shot. All and every single undoc who filed taxes broke the law, as they don't have EAD. And their employers, every single of them, also broke the law by employing them.

Shit is about to get real REAL.

This is hilarious.

This rewards the illegals who always got paid cash under the table and never declared jack shit in taxes. Now , they have even more reasons to not pay taxes and remain hidden.

This admin is desperate for good news.
They botched the economy, pissed off their voters, and now they are gonna flood the news cycle with a bunch of unjust deportations to soothe their supporters and show that they are doing something.

I don't know a single undocumented immigrant from chuch, the community, or businesses who does not file their taxes.

You don't get 100 BILLION in taxes in one year from 5-7 million workers unless they do file their returns.

They tried to lie about the work ethic and integrity of people just because they are undocumented.

They'll likely weaponize audits and come after our money like they did the Jews before they put them on trains.

If you're on DACA, unemployed and you filed no earnings? Good bye.
