Original Date Announced
February 28, 2025The Washington Post reports that DHS asked the IRS on February 27, 2025, to divulge the last-known home addresses, phone numbers, and email addresses of 700,000 potentially undocumented immigrants. DHS also asked the IRS to deploy auditors and criminal investigators to launch probes of businesses suspected of hiring immigrants not authorized to work. The memo follows a prior DHS request to allow immigration officials to provide names and obtain home addresses. IRS leadership initially refused DHS's requests; however, a new acting IRS commissioner has since taken over and indicated interest in compliance.
