After back and forth between two federal agencies, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have reached a deal to aid in the deportation efforts of illegal immigrants.
The agreement will allow U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information to locate illegal immigrants subject to deportation.
Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed the agreement, which allows the IRS to turn over information about undocumented immigrants already facing deportation orders and are under federal criminal investigation.
Under the agreement, ICE can submit names and request address confirmations for illegals who have been ordered removed but have overstayed past the 90-day mark.
Officials emphasized that illegals targeted under this deal have already received due process, and the IRS will only confirm addresses. The agency will not release full taxpayer files.
The Trump administration filed a memorandum of understanding late Monday with a court to create guardrails and a process for ICE requests to the IRS to further investigations of criminal illegal immigrants who have failed or refuse to leave the United States 90 days after a judge has issued a final order of removal.
“The Internal Revenue Service and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement have entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a clear and secure process to support law enforcement’s efforts to combat illegal immigration,” a Treasury Department spokesperson told Fox News Digital in a statement.
“The bases for this MOU are founded in longstanding authorities granted by Congress, which serve to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans while streamlining the ability to pursue criminals,” the statement said. “After four years of Joe Biden flooding the nation with illegal aliens, President Trump’s highest priority is to ensure the safety of the American people.”
Additionally, the Memorandum of Understanding clarifies and outlines a process to ensure that sensitive taxpayer data information is protected.
A Treasury Department spokesperson added that the agreement “protects the privacy of law-abiding Americans.”
just so i understand
a court orders deportation
and lets the deportee walk out of the court
why arent they taken into custody?
Excellent. Illegals take heed!
The Democrats are going to lose their minds.
It’ll be fun to watch.
With Doge bringing AI technology to the government and sifting through government data from all departments illegal aliens are going to have a hard time hiding from ICE.
BECAUSE THE COURTS ARE ANTI-TRUMP & ANTI-AMERICAN CITIZENS
