Calling this a betrayal would be generous—it's institutionalized hypocrisy. The government profits from immigrant labor, then weaponizes their compliance to criminalize and expel them. @votolatino.bsky.social
The Internal Revenue Service finalized an agreement on Monday to provide sensitive taxpayer data to the Department of Homeland Security looking to track down undocumented immigrants for deportation.
I.R.S. Agrees to Share Migrants’ Tax Information With ICE
The agreement is a major departure from the Internal Revenue Service’s efforts to gain the trust of migrants and encourage them to file their taxes.
