The Ministry of Internal Security said in the court document theyS He agreed to share some tax information It was presented by non -documented taxpayers with the enforcement of migration and customs.
The announcement of the agreement came in a document presented late in MondayThe NA case defies the legitimacy of IRS Share tax information With other agencies. The document was presented in several main parts.
“There is an agreement to share information, which is the opposite of what the Tax Authority said in the past that he will not share it,” said Alan Morrison, a lawyer at Georgetown’s Law College, a lawyer in the case that challenged the case. Lawyers in the lawsuit ask the Ministry of National Security to submit a clean copy, without updates.
The Ministry of National Security has sought to use tax deposit information to find people in the United States without legal status to support President Donald Trump’s collective deportation.
Many people who do not have a legal status pay billions of dollars in taxes, and provide deposit under tax identification numbers. The Institute of Tax and Economic Policy estimated that illegal immigrants paid 96.7 billion dollars in federal, state and local taxes in 2022. According to its analysis, $ 59.4 billion went to the federal government and $ 37.3 billion for government and local governments.
It is illegal to issue personal tax information and the Tax Authority has long refused to share the IDs of taxpayers who are not documented with other agencies.
However, the law provides some specific exceptions, including information about tax investigations that do not related to taxes and include claims that the individual violates or suspected that it violates the federal criminal law.
“As much as we can say,” Morrison said, the deal is limited to this exception.
“We challenge whether they can share information (by) try to demand an exception to criminal investigations,” he said. “But we believe what they really want is the site’s information and you need an order from the court.”
For several months, Tax Authority officials have resisted the disclosure of what has been guarded for a long time, but Trump Solving the agency’s leadership With more friendly employees for the taxpayer information sharing plan.
“The government has presented this at 11:10 last night. We have three days to respond,” Morrison told NBC News.
He said that when he first tried to read the DHS file, “I couldn’t know the type of words that were missing … How can we know what to do if we don’t see this?” He asked.
The Ministry of Internal Security did not respond to the request of NBC news for comment and information about the parts of the agreement.
According to the Ministry of National Security Court, ICE must, in its requests to the Tax Authority, to request the name and address of the person who wants his information, tax periods related to its request, and the federal criminal basic under which the individual is investigated or with regard to investigating any criminal procedures unrelated to the individual, and the reasons that make the disclosure of information related to information full of the issue that causes communication or follow -up or follow -up.
He said that the Ministry of National Security has identified two potential crimes that would allow the Tax Authority to share information with ICE. But he said that the Ministry of National Security did not say the crimes it identified or whether it contained names from the people who committed or suspected of committing these crimes, which must obtain information.
“There is one thing they said, at least at least as of yesterday, there have been no suspended requests for this information, and if they asked for it, they should pass some treatment,” he said.
The agreement was reached until several months after the turmoil in the Tax and pressure department, including by Doug Elon Musk operation.
Certainly, the agreement generates more terrorism among immigrants, many of whom have pushed taxes for years to ensure that they do not violate American law and are at risk as possible future opportunities for the legal status.
“The Tax Authority should never be armed to target migrant families … no one should be afraid that putting their taxes puts their families at risk.” Gomez, who is the parents of Mexican immigrants, added that he would try to stop this procedure through the committee.
