The O’Keefe Media Group recently exposed an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agent who said he “doubts” the agency’s use of artificial intelligence programs and warrantless searches of U.S. bank accounts are constitutional.
In a recent post on X, formerly Twitter, James O’Keefe shared an undercover video recorded by an O’Keefe Media Group citizen journalist who spoke with Alex Mena, an IRS official who works for the agency’s Criminal Investigations division.
In the video, Mena told the journalist that the IRS has “no problem like going after the small people, putting people in prison. Like destroying people’s lives, they have no problem doing that.”
The IRS official admitted that the agency uses artificial intelligence to access the bank accounts of U.S. citizens.
“They see the amount in your bank account,” he said.
In September, the IRS announced it would expand the agency’s use of artificial intelligence to ensure compliance with the IRS.
Asked whether it was constitutional for the IRS to access everyone’s back accounts with artificial intelligence, Mena said, “I doubt it.”
He explained that the IRS does not need evidence to obtain a warrant for viewing American citizens’ bank accounts.
