Last month, we reported that the IRS was preparing a system that would share millions of taxpayers' data with ICE.

Now we can confirm data was officially transferred ⤵️

ProPublica has obtained the blueprint for the Trump administration’s unprecedented plan to turn over IRS records to Homeland Security in order to speed up the agency’s mass deportation efforts.

    I do wonder how “moderates” even try to be taken seriously at this point when every single possible indication shows the USA being a fascist nation.

    Wanted to "like" this post but the current count of 666 was just too apt to mess with.

    They are looking for all the immigrants who filed tax returns and paid taxes. Republicans are really quite stupid. The people they are arresting have paid some of the billions in taxes to our government. All while the criminals who are harder to find walk free. Make it make sense.

    I'm old enough to remember when MAGA was losing their minds over black helicopters, FEMA camps, national IDs, data sharing...

    Now, not a peep from the MAGA sheep

    Revenuers might find themselves being treated like the revenuers from the good old moonshine days - shot, then strung up by their genitals. This will not end well for anyone who's not a MAGAt.

    Strange how easily all of our information is being passed around Trump’s Nazi agencies, but the American public can’t see Trump’s info in the Epstein Files 🤔

    Wait… i thought all these millions of free-loading immigrants don’t pay any taxes.

    Either… they actually DO pay taxes,

    OR

    The objective is not to mine the IRS data to find illegal immigrants, but to classify every one else to punish those that may not be loyal to the regime.

    Disgusting how weak this country’s response to authoritarian occupation has been. We’ve entrusted those in office and gov positions to uphold the dignity and responsibility of nation, only for knees to buckle at slightest of pressure from Pedo Taco. Enough is enough.

    So now all immigrants will go back underground, work off the books for the millions of employers who will be thrilled to pay slave wages and no matching social security and Trump will lose our government billions in the tax revenue that currently comes from immigrants. Great plan idiots!

    This was the ONLY reason for enacting the old, no longer illegal, agency

    It was NEVER about finding waste, fraud or abuse

    We see those crimes committed by this POTUS EVERY DAMN DAY for 9 yrs!

    I find it somewhat comforting that they had to fire five different commissioners before they found a willing stooge.

    Time to start reporting on how people avoid funding the regime?

    It's about dependent names and ages and it's about addresses and how you make deductions. Who you do business with and where. The money is the least of it.

    So they're going to go after immigrants who did the right thing, worked, and paid taxes. Or are gang leaders filing 1099s these days?

    Imagine the taxpaying scum gloating as they destroy the USA by paying for it to exist. Bastards!

    Does this mean the IRS will return their tax contributions? Presumably, if a person were not eligible to be and/or work in the US but paid taxes to the IRS, the IRS wouldn't have an official mechanism to keep that money.

    (I realize this is little comfort to those kidnapped and their families.)

    Once the immigrant round up runs out of immigrants they will repurpose/relabel ice to a national paramilitary Force. Unlimited budget and unlimited access to taxpayer data and history, they'll be able to track anyone and drum up any charges they want.

    You know how you have to get a new debit card when it's been compromised, well, once we've clean up the mess at the White House, we're going to have to issue new social security numbers, maybe more, to everyone in the country.

    I hope that someone is working on a solution for that challenge.

    More than ever I feel incentivized to send my Federal Taxes owed to my state's Department of Revenue instead — because we Blue States will be needing that money so that we can separate, and save ourselves from those awful, horrible, Fascist Red States!

    Well, if the IRS is ok with sharing tax returns to ICE (against the law), then they should also release the Felon's tax returns as well. Right? RIGHT??? Besides, what restrictions and safeguards does ICE have to ensure those records remain confidential? My guess? ZERO!!!
