The IRS is nearing a data-sharing agreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement that would allow immigration officials to use tax data to support the Trump administration's deportation agenda, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News.
After weeks of negotiations, administration officials are close to reaching an agreement that would enable ICE officials to submit names and addresses of suspected immigrants lacking legal status for the IRS to check against its confidential databases.
Section 6103 of the federal tax code requires the IRS to keep individual taxpayer information confidential with certain limited exceptions, which includes law enforcement agencies "for investigation and prosecution of non-tax criminal laws" with approval from a court, according to the agency's website.
The IRS has allowed immigrants without legal status to file income tax returns with individual tax numbers, or ITINs. These immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes using borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.
The IRS and Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment from ABC News on the agreement, which is still being negotiated and has not been finalized, according to sources.

More good news. I cannot believe how deep the corruption is in our government. It is worse than I had thought.
This is a big deal.
Good news.
Good. Use it to go after the employers. Fine the crap out of them and arrest their CEOs.
“””These immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes using borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers””””
“borrowed” ss numbers?????
.
Hell yes. Send an xlm document and be done with it. No judges needed.
Yeah. More like stolen. I see why we have a law enforcement problem. People are excused for breaking the law.
Mega-winning would involve the IRS giving ICE a list of illegals, with addresses, in their database.
Yes. Employers all across the country must become convinced that hiring an illegal might bankrupt the whole business.
If immigrants lose their government benefits, and also lose their ability to be employed, they will self-deport.
““borrowed” ss numbers?????”
Jose, unemployed, has is brother from down south come up and borrow his SS number.
Jose gets the SS benefits.
How many minutes will it take a radical leftist judge to issue a TRO?
I have a friend who deals with identity theft. SS number THEFT is massive. Counterfeit SS cards are very realistic and very common.
There is an entire industry for renting social security numbers for illegals
I am loving this is.
“””There is an entire industry for renting social security numbers for illegals””” For years I have known far more about it than I care to. It is unbelievable that FINALLY something might be done about it.
What would Rand think?
good!
it is absolutely ridiculous that most parts of government don’t communicate with each other or have access to the data others have.
Yup. Cut off their options and make the US an inhospitable place for illegals.
Illegals should not be receiving any govt freebies such as social security and Medicare but they come here knowing they can suck off the govt tit as long as they vote dem
