The IRS is close to finalizing an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to help locate migrants suspected of being in the US illegally, a person familiar with the matter said, as President Donald Trump continues his hardline deportation push: cnn.it/41SS9cC
Sounds like a 5th amendment violation to me.
You mean tax payers?
The IRS has our banking information. If they’re willing to give private identification info to DHS, why should I trust them not to sell my banking info to the highest bidder?
Undocumented but paying taxes? Bet you a cheesecake that most MAGA don’t know that OR believe it’s fake news! Ironic!
SO, HOW does deporting TAX PAYERS help us address the deficit & debt? I thought Repubs valued common sense.
Your government has unleashed a full scale witch hunt against every minority group on the list. Basically everyone but the white Christian nationalists and their submissive wives. Some call that genocide.
Meanwhile, IRS data can't be used to locate Musk, Bezo, Zuck, and the rest because, unlike immigrants, legal or not, those guys don't pay any taxes.
We’re very close to a revolution here. Trump isn’t a president it’s a fascist regime
FFS.
NO privacy must be allowed to any fascist lover nazi praiser saluter and their collaborators! That witchhunt on immigrants is NO DIFFERENT THAN the nazis hunt on Jews during 1930s and 1940s and DISASTROUSLY noone seems to have SIMPLY THE COMMON SENSE TO CONFESS, SCREAM AND OBJECT THIS MONSTROSITY!!
Every government institution will be used for human trafficking of minorities and not a single American citizen will protest. The don't protest their own fellow citizens getting fired left and right. What a conformist county!
Another idiot decision (like cutting IRS staff) that will reduce income tax receipts. Why would undocumented immigrants continue to pay taxes when doing so will serve them up on a platter to ICE?
@cnn.com please report why this has never done before and the harm it will do.
Opening taxpayers' data to other organizations will increase the risk of fraud and abuse. Privacy is so important to the citizenry that those shouldn't happen. Maybe homeland security should have done their job at the border.
No worries. Even though these migrants pay taxes and get no benefits, once they're all deported the white uneducated MAGA people can step up and save America once and for all. I mean, that's why the migrants are "evil", right. They're stealing jobs from REAL MURICANS?
More government efficiency, get rid of tax paying migrants
So the eggs will be cheaper?
There is a concept of a plan to make them cheaper. Maybe, but probably not lol
Disgusting
You can make a difference in 8 days - 1st April - 1x Wisconsin Supreme Court election (that musk has but 11m into), 2x Florida congressional elections, 1st and 6th. You don’t need to live there to support the non-MAGA candidate
Here’s an issue I see, there are Trump affiliated PACs running adds on YouTube & other mediums touting how wonderful he is, where are the counter ads to this? But, yes, those 3 elections would begin to turn the tide if we can defeat the MAGA nuts.
Immigrants have traveled to America for decades to work hard for the American dream, assured by the steady rule of law and process. The country’s GDP has benefited from this rock solid belief. Regan understood that value and granted Amnesty for this very reason.✍🏻
Does the administration care what this will do to hard working migrant families that are hard working, paying taxes and paying into the Social Security system? Do they know the impact on our economy? Do they care?
Great so as everyone can clearly see, they have Social Security numbers and pay taxes, but do not get the money in return OK and it’s not the billionaires who are causing us all this pain it’s the immigrants
Yes... let's scare folks even further and stop all of them from paying any taxes at all, just so we can catch a few of them because they were what?!... honest enough to pay taxes in the first place? This Idiocracy is real, peeps.
Using this as an excuse to give elon our personal information.
The simple solution is to make E-Verify the law of the land. They come here to work-if they can't work, they won't come. I worked part-time for the IRS-believe me, they have enough to do (especially if they are being downsized) without being the country's snitch & that could go terribly wrong.

Actually this is against the laws passed by Congress. Only congress can change it. Does anyone care about the rule of law anymore?
WTF!!!!!
Cannot be legal.
This can't be legal.
Immoral breach as they were promised this would never happen.
Deporting illegal immigrants is not only going to further exacerbate the lack of workers in the agriculture, construction, and cleaning industries, the government will lose $50-75 billion per year in taxes. It boggles my mind how easily we can be manipulated.,
How many Legal Citizens records must be perused. to find those needles in the haystack?? Sounds like another deep dive into private data.
Shameful. For those who support this, may Doctor Who locate your immigrant ancestors and do what he must. Amen.
That’s so wrong. These people are paying their taxes regardless of, and these morons are going after them—bunch of buffoons in the White House and government. They’ve been doing what the corporations and the rich don’t want to do, what a joke
To be fair, this doesn't make a lot of sense as most undocumented workers are going to use false information. However, a documented person can legally claim an undocumented person as a dependent on tax returns. They apply for a special number to use. Is this the way to "find" them? Seems fishy.
So they are going after tax paying immigrants. How about just allow them to apply for residency and continue paying taxes??
Wow you mean they DO pay taxes
Absolute corruption!!!

NOT LEGAL

"Those suckers pay taxes, so fuck 'em!"
thank god we're focusing on this instead of making sure people have food and housing and clean water
Or can afford groceries, bring down inflation…issues he was supposedly elected to address. However, he is destroying govt capacity to identify & deal w/terrorist attacks in favor of finding & deporting gardeners & field workers. What could possibly go wrong.
How would the IRS have any data on illegal migrants when you need a social security number to file taxes? The only data they have is sketchy Financials of business owners who pay all their workers under the table because they hire illegals. Those business owners should be the ones imprisoned.

I definitely see them closing up any loopholes that accidentally let people know the criminal activity some businesses are up to. Or just straight up making a lot of illegal things legal as long as you paid your fealty.
Article analysis by Veridex: Bias: Low Missing context: Medium Disinformation: None The IRS may share taxpayer info with DHS to locate undocumented migrants, sparking privacy concerns. Critics warn of legal breaches, but is the full story being told? veridex.news/summary_arti...
In other news, @cnn.com is close to finalizing an agreement with Scott Jennings that protects him from being confronted with his own words.
Why would someone who’s undocumented have their information in this system???
Because employers issue paychecks and the IRS gets *extremely* curious when Uncle Sam doesn't get his money.
Whatever it is, you said has nothing to do with my comment. If someone is on documented, they wouldn’t be in a tax system to begin with sharing with the IRS isn’t beneficial.
Do illegal immgrants file taxes? How does the IRS identify people who are supposedly in hiding and flying under the radar?
This is deplorable! People who are undocumented, responsible and PAYING their taxes (more than some Billionaires can say) are now going to get picked up for trying to live here. What fucked up message that sends. Truly disgusting
