Trump Administration Allegedly Violates Laws by Demanding IRS Release Taxpayers’ Names to ICE.

The News as It Trends

A new report trending across social media reveals that the Trump administration is demanding the names of up to 7,000 immigrants who have filed taxes to be handed over to ICE for deportation.

This move, which many immigration experts and policy analysts have considered illegal, has sparked outrage among legal experts and immigrant advocacy groups, who argue that it is a direct violation of federal laws protecting due process and civil rights.

Critics warn that such actions could instill fear and mistrust within immigrant communities, eroding principles of fairness and equality.

Critics argue that many of these immigrants who file taxes are hardworking men and women contributing significantly to the American economy.

Contrary to popular rumors portraying them as dependent on government benefits, these individuals play a vital role in supporting industries, paying taxes, and fostering American economic growth.

According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, undocumented immigrants make significant contributions to the U.S. economy.

In 2022 alone, they paid approximately $59.4 billion in federal taxes and $13.6 billion in state and local taxes.

Additionally, they contributed nearly $26 billion to Social Security, over $6 billion to Medicare, and almost $2 billion to unemployment insurance, even though they are ineligible to benefit from these programs.

Advocacy organizations are urging affected individuals to stay informed about their rights and seek legal counsel.

This development underscores the ongoing tension between immigration enforcement and legal boundaries, raising ethical and legal concerns about such policies.

Additionally, with more and more IRS offices being closed down in the middle of tax season by DOGE, many household tax returns remain unprocessed, according to reports from families who have also been affected.

The story continues to unfold, drawing widespread attention and sparking heated debate.
