IRS chief quits after immigration data-sharing deal

[Rawley]

You did not answer the question. To find information they have to search everyone's financial records.

WTF are you talking about?

 

[Zincwarrior]

??? IRS has shared it's data with the DOJ for criminal investigations forever.

With a warrant.

As I said, if its legal I don't care. Her resigning over it gives me pause.

How is targeting ILLEGALS who commit BILLIONS in tax refund fraud a bad thing? God Dems are retarded.

 

[Rawley]

With a warrant.

"As part of the deal, the IRS agreed to turn over information about undocumented immigrants who DHS says are already facing deportation orders and are under federal criminal investigation, including for the crime of failing to leave the country, according to the filings."

No warrant necessary

As I said, if its legal I don't care. Her resigning over it gives me pause.

Gvt. employees are not immune from TDS

And the chaos continues.

How is this chaos in any way?

Insanity is government is likely to lead us into total authoritarian fascism.

Insanity in government is when it’s at least twice as big as it needs to be.

As noted, my only concern was whether it was legal, well also that they don't have anyone running the agency.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

I suspect it's about equally split. Half know it but won't admit it, the other half is just so brainwashed they will believe what they are told to believe no matter the evidence in front of them.

Guess witch half you fall under?

Yup. That's how they caught Al Capone. Nearly 100 fucking years ago!!! The retards probably think that was Trump's fault, too.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

The Trump shit show continues.

It will continue until the hard-core Trumpers truly suffer financially in a bad way.

The hysterical leftists that dumped their stocks financially suffered in a bad way. The market is already back.

 

[Rawley]

As noted, my only concern was whether it was legal,

(b) Conditions of Disclosure.—No agency shall disclose any record which is contained in a system of records by any means of communication to any person, or to another agency, except pursuant to a written request by, or with the prior written consent of, the individual to whom the record pertains, unless disclosure of the record would be—

(7) to another agency or to an instrumentality of any governmental jurisdiction within or under the control of the United States for a civil or criminal law enforcement activity if the activity is authorized by law, and if the head of the agency or instrumentality has made a written request to the agency which maintains the record specifying the particular portion desired and the law enforcement activity for which the record is sought;

U.S.C. Title 5 - GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATION AND EMPLOYEES

well also that they don't have anyone running the agency.

I think there are more than few folks running the place. Biden's nominee wasn't confirmed until March of 2023.

What's wrong with the government agencies sharing information among themselves to find miscreants?

Those miscreants are Democrat voters.

Third IRS chief since the new admin. This one quit when the Admin started using confidential IRS tax information to target potentially illegal immigrants.

The acting head of the Internal Revenue Service plans to resign, the Treasury Department said on Tuesday, a move that comes after the agency struck a controversial deal to share tax data on undocumented immigrants with federal agents.

Commissioner Melanie Krause will become the tax-collecting agency's third leader to exit since the start of the year, a chaotic period marked by the firing of thousands of its employees mandated by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency.




Her departure also comes amid the busiest time of the year for the IRS, with the filing deadline for most individual tax returns falling on April 15.

On Monday, the IRS and Department of Homeland Security finalized an agreement under which taxpayer data will be provided to federal immigration authorities to help them locate undocumented immigrants.

Officials with the Treasury Department, of which the IRS is a part, had largely bypassed Krause in recent days in seeking to give immigration authorities access to the private taxpayer information, the Washington Post reported.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem signed the data-sharing agreement on Monday, even though IRS attorneys advised that the deal likely violated privacy laws, the Washington Post said.

"Melanie Krause has been leading the IRS through a time of extraordinary change," a Treasury spokesperson said in an emailed statement, confirming her resignation.




Without mentioning the data agreement, the spokesperson added that the agency was "in the midst of breaking down data silos that for too long have stood in the way of identifying waste, fraud, and abuse and bringing criminals to justice."

Good

It's not fair to the miscreants -

 

[Billiejeens]

Look around. Foreign policy is a disaster, the economy is coming apart at the seams, war is looming, how much more do you need to admit it?

Not real world

The world has been turned upside down, and they say there is no chaos. -mac



The world was upside down and is now being turned right side up, all is well - BJ

 

[Polishprince]

Bu for that power they don't use that power to investigate other crimes like drug use or paying a prostitute...They didn't have reasonable cause to investigate that crime... This is the balance the US and many other countries take to be fair as possible.

People aren't that interested in drug use or people patronizing hoes.

But using it for Narcotics Smuggling or Human Trafficking, why not?

As I said earlier, this is not rocket science or brain surgery. If you cross the border illegally then you are an illegal.
