The IRS’ “Adrian Project,” a Bush-era recruitment program directed at high school and college students, is coming to light as the “Inflation Reduction Act” doles out $80 billion to the agency to increase staff and hire criminal investigative agents.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) blasted the IRS for hiring more agents who will be armed and empowered to conduct criminal investigations and arrests. He shared a clip from the IRSCI “Adrian Project” at Dixie State University (DSU) conducted in April of 2022.
“Dixie State University students recently worked with IRS special agents in a mock scenario to gather evidence, arrest, and convict someone of tax evasion as part of the Adrian Project, a hands-on experience that provides students with a glance at the life of an IRS special agent,” the university explained.
President Biden signed the $750 billion healthcare, tax, and climate package legislation into law on Tuesday that funds the IRS with $80 billion in additional funds.
“With this law, the American people won and the special interests lost,” Biden proclaimed. “For a while, people doubted whether any of that was going to happen, but we are in a season of substance.”
