The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and American immigration and customs implementation (ICE) are approaching an agreement that will enable ICE -in access to information about taxpayers to find data on taxpayers illegal immigrants susceptible to deportation.
The historical agreement would allow ICE to submit the names and addresses of illegal immigrants to check against the IRS tax records, which is a shift in the long-standing IRS policy with the aim of holding data on taxpayers strictly confidentially, according to a Report in the Washington Post.
The current draft of the agreement, which received the Washington Post, would limit Ice to confirm the addresses of illegal immigrants who have the final elimination commands while the Homeland Security Minister Christ Noem and the acting director of ICE Todd Lyons would be the only two persons authorized to submit the IRS requests.

The Draft Agreement approves the verification of individuals to “subject to criminal investigation” for violating the Immigration Act, exploiting a narrow exception to the IRS Privacy Act that enables the use of taxpayers’ data to assist criminal investigations.
The report states that some officials of the IRS veterans have expressed concern about the agreement, claiming that a narrow exception is intended only for criminal investigations, not for the implementation of immigration. Officers also take care that politics will interfere with tax collection from illegal immigrants, which are still subject to federal taxes even though they were illegally in the country.
The IRS has given illegal immigrants for years that their tax information is confidential, according to a report, a policy that has helped them collect more than 5 million tax returns from unproven migrants.
