The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are nearing an agreement that would permit ICE to access taxpayer information to locate illegal immigrants subject to deportation.
A historic agreement would allow ICE to submit the names and addresses of illegal immigrants to cross-check against IRS tax records, a shift in longstanding IRS policy aimed at keeping taxpayer information strictly confidential, according to a report in the Washington Post.
The current draft agreement, obtained by the Washington Post, would limit ICE to confirm the addresses of illegal immigrants who have final removal orders, while Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and acting ICE Director Todd Lyons would be the only two people authorized to submit requests to the IRS.
