DHS Teams Up with the IRS to Target Illegal Aliens Who Refuse to Leave

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) have reached an agreement allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access taxpayer information in order to locate illegal immigrants who have received final removal orders but remain in the United States.

The agreement was formalized through a memorandum of understanding (MOU) filed by the Trump administration with a federal court late Monday.

The document establishes a process for ICE to request information from the IRS as part of efforts to identify and deport illegal immigrants who have failed to leave the country more than 90 days after receiving a final order of removal from a judge.

“The Internal Revenue Service and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement have entered into a memorandum of understanding to establish a clear and secure process to support law enforcement’s efforts to combat illegal immigration,” a Treasury Department spokesperson said in a statement to Fox News Digital.

“The bases for this MOU are founded in longstanding authorities granted by Congress, which serve to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans while streamlining the ability to pursue criminals,” the statement continued.

“After four years of Joe Biden flooding the nation with illegal aliens, President Trump’s highest priority is to ensure the safety of the American people.”

A senior Treasury Department official confirmed that the individuals targeted under this agreement have already received due process through the immigration court system but have failed to depart the country within the 90-day deadline following the judge’s final removal order.

The memorandum outlines measures to safeguard sensitive taxpayer information while permitting ICE to pursue individuals who are subject to criminal enforcement actions.

According to the official, the agency remains committed to protecting taxpayer privacy but must comply with legal obligations that include assisting law enforcement in criminal matters.

A draft version of the agreement was previously reported by the Washington Post in March.

The report indicated that the scope of the arrangement would be limited to confirming the addresses of illegal immigrants who are under final orders of removal.

Under the finalized deal, ICE will be able to submit names and other identifying details of individuals who have defied removal orders to the IRS.

The IRS will then cross-reference those names against tax records to identify current address information, which will be provided to ICE to support enforcement actions.

Some veteran officials within the IRS have raised concerns about the arrangement.

They argue that the existing legal exception allowing for such data sharing was originally intended to be applied only to criminal investigations, not immigration enforcement.

Additionally, there is concern that the policy could discourage illegal immigrants from filing tax returns, which would negatively impact federal tax collection.

Despite those objections, the administration is moving forward with the initiative as part of President Donald Trump’s broader immigration strategy.

The renewed focus on interior enforcement and the use of federal resources for deportations was a key component of Trump’s campaign platform and remains central to his current policy agenda.

The new agreement adds another tool to the administration’s effort to support ICE in identifying and removing illegal immigrants with final removal orders.
