The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is seeking to deputize Internal Revenue Service (IRS) agents to assist with immigration enforcement efforts, including deportation initiatives. This decision appears to be part of a broader strategy under the Trump administration to intensify immigration crackdowns. Reports indicate that U.S. homeland chief Kristi Noem is spearheading this initiative, calling for IRS agents to play a role in identifying and removing illegal migrants. The potential involvement of IRS agents in immigration matters has sparked significant debate and raises concerns about the scope of their duties.
