Reported: ICE buys records related to immigrants' tax identifiers

  1. Original Date Announced

    June 17, 2026

    404 Media reports that ICE appears to be buying records of immigrants' tax identifiers in a $10 million contract with a data broker. The contract, signed on June 5, 2026, is for “[Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITIN)] data subscription and analytics for HSI agents in fraud investigations." ITINs are used by undocumented immigrants to file their taxes. It is unclear what data is included. 404 Media states that the practice is "potentially skirting" court orders striking down the agreement between the IRS and DHS to share taxpayer information.
