The Trump administration confirmed in federal court that there are "ongoing discussions" between the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) about sharing taxpayer data that could potentially be used to deport undocumented immigrants.
The disclosure took pace at a hearing in which two immigrant rights organizations sought to block the IRS from sharing noncitizen taxpayer records with ICE. There, Department of Justice attorney Andrew Weisberg stated that "there are ongoing conversations... about the exchange of information" between the IRS and DHS, although no action has been taken, as CNN reports.
