Washington Post: DHS seeking personal IRS data of 700,000 suspected undocumented people
Washington, March 4 (RHC)-- The Washington Post is reporting that the Department of Homeland Security has asked the IRS to hand over detailed information on about 700,000 suspected undocumented immigrants, including their home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses.
According to the Post, the Internal Revenue Service initially refused the request, but the agency’s new acting commissioner is reportedly exploring how to comply. Federal law bars the IRS from sharing personal tax information with other government agencies.
