Here are the key points from the ProPublica article about the Trump administration's plan to share IRS tax records with ICE:

The Trump administration sought to establish a system for the IRS to share taxpayer records, specifically home addresses, with ICE to expedite deportations.

The IRS was developing a computer program to provide "on demand" access to confidential tax data for deportation officers.

Andrew De Mello, then acting general counsel at the IRS, was forced out of his position after he refused to provide ICE with the addresses of 7.3 million taxpayers due to legal "deficiencies" in the request.

Former IRS officials described this push for data sharing as "unprecedented," noting that previous law enforcement requests for IRS data were typically limited and tied to specific criminal investigations.

The proposed system would allow the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to send lists of individuals to the IRS, which would then match the information and return last known addresses.

Concerns were raised by IRS engineers and privacy experts regarding potential errors, the absence of independent verification of criminal investigations by the IRS, and the possibility of expanding the system to collect more comprehensive taxpayer information.

While a judge ruled in May that the broader memorandum of understanding between DHS and IRS complied with existing law, the technical blueprint was not specifically addressed, and the case is ongoing.

The article underscores the significant privacy implications and internal opposition within the IRS to this data-sharing initiative.
