It’s official—and so self-destructive. Undocumented workers are trying to follow the rules by dutifully paying their taxes (nearly $100 billion annually).

In recent weeks, an unprecedented threat to taxpayer privacy emerged, warranting the attention of every American who values the rule of law and economic stability. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) formally requested access to the private tax information of 700,000 people who file taxes using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). This request strikes at the heart of longstanding legal protections, raising alarming new questions about government overreach.
