What it does
This bill changes tax law. It tells Treasury to give tax records to the Department of Homeland Security when DHS asks. The records include names, where people live, and family details. People without Social Security numbers use ITINs to file taxes. DHS could use these tax records for immigration enforcement.
Who it affects
People without Social Security numbers who file taxes would be most affected. Mixed-status families could have their data shared with immigration authorities. Family members listed on tax forms could be identified.
One thing to notice
DHS can get tax records by asking in writing. No court order or judge needs to say yes first.
