Whoops! Democrats End Up Helping Trump’s Deportations After All
Opinion by Jason Hopkins • 14h
After Democrats supersized the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) by billions of more dollars to target working Americans under President Joe Biden, the Trump administration has moved to tap into that manpower for an entirely different purpose.
In a bid to draw additional manpower to support its sprawling crackdown on illegal immigrants, a number of IRS officials have been deputized with immigration enforcement authority, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) confirmed to the Daily Caller News Foundation Monday. DHS confirmation follows a memo by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem requesting the Treasury Department to deputize some law enforcement employees, including IRS criminal investigators, with assisting in immigration enforcement matters.
“It is DHS’s understanding that the Department of Treasury has qualified law enforcement personnel available to assist with immigration enforcement, especially in light of recent increases to the Internal Revenue Service’s work force and budget,” Noem said in the memo, which was first obtained by the Wall Street Journal.
