The acting comissioner of the Internal Revenue Service is resigning over a deal to share immigrants' tax data with Immigration and Customs Enforcement for the purpose of identifying and deporting people illegally in the U.S., according to two people familiar with the decision.Melanie Krause, who had served as acting head since February, will step down over the new data-sharing document signed Monday by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The agreement will allow ICE to submit names and addresses of immigrants inside the U.S. illegally to the IRS for cross-verification against tax records.Two people familiar with the situation confirmed Krause was resigning and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly.The IRS has seen a string of resignations over Trump administration decisions to share taxpayer data. Acting chief counsel William Paul was removed from his role at the agency and replaced by Andrew De Mello, an attorney in the chief counsel바카라 게임 웹사이트�s office who is deemed supportive of Elon Musk바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Department of Government Efficiency, according to two other people familiar with the plans who were not authorized to speak publicly.The Treasury Department says the agreement will help carry out President Donald Trump바카라 게임 웹사이트�s agenda to secure U.S. borders and is part of his larger nationwide immigration crackdown, which has resulted in deportations, workplace raids, and the use of an 18th century wartime law to deport Venezuelan migrants.Advocates, however, say the IRS-DHS information-sharing agreement violates privacy laws and diminishes the privacy of all Americans.The basis for the agreement is founded in 바카라 게임 웹사이트�longstanding authorities granted by Congress, which serve to protect the privacy of law-abiding Americans while streamlining the ability to pursue criminals,바카라 게임 웹사이트� said a Treasury official who spoke on the condition of anonymity to explain the agency바카라 게임 웹사이트�s thinking on the agreement.Tom Bowman, policy counsel for the Center for Democracy and Technology, said disclosing immigrant tax records to DHS for immigration enforcement "will discourage tax compliance among immigrant communities, weaken contributions to essential public programs, and increase burdens for U.S. citizens and nonimmigrant taxpayers. It also sets a dangerous precedent for data privacy abuse in other federal programs.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Todd Lyons, acting ICE director, told reporters at the Border Security Expo in Phoenix on Tuesday that the agreement will help ICE find people who are collecting benefits they aren바카라 게임 웹사이트�t entitled to and are 바카라 게임 웹사이트�kind of hiding in plain sight바카라 게임 웹사이트� using someone else바카라 게임 웹사이트�s identity.Working with Treasury and other departments is 바카라 게임 웹사이트�strictly for the major criminal cases,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Lyons said.The IRS had already been called upon once to help with immigration enforcement earlier this year.Noem in February sent a request to Bessent to borrow IRS Criminal Investigation workers to help with the immigration crackdown, according to a letter obtained by The Associated Press. It cites the IRS바카라 게임 웹사이트� boost in funding, though the $80 billion infusion of funds the federal tax collection agency received under the Democrats바카라 게임 웹사이트� Inflation Reduction Act has already been clawed back.A collection of tax law experts for the NYU Tax Law Center wrote Monday that the IRS-DHS agreement 바카라 게임 웹사이트�threatens to violate the rights that many more Americans have under longstanding laws that protect their tax information from wrongful disclosure or dissemination.바카라 게임 웹사이트�바카라 게임 웹사이트�In fact, it is difficult to see how the IRS could release information to DHS while complying with taxpayer privacy statutes,바카라 게임 웹사이트� they said, 바카라 게임 웹사이트�IRS officials who sign off on data sharing under these circumstances risk breaking the law, which could result in criminal and civil sanctions.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The memo states that the IRS and ICE 바카라 게임 웹사이트�will perform their duties in a manner that recognizes and enhances individuals바카라 게임 웹사이트� right of privacy and will ensure their activities are consistent with laws, regulations, and good administrative practices.바카라 게임 웹사이트�__Associated Press reporter Elliot Spagat contributed to this report from Phoenix.
