Top IRS Officials Resign Following Agreement on Sharing Immigrant Tax Data:  Following an agreement signed on 4/7/25 between the IRS and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) allowing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to request tax records as part of non-tax criminal immigration investigations, several top IRS officials have resigned from their posts. Those leaving include the acting commissioner of the IRS, Melanie Krause, along with the agency's Chief Privacy Officer, Kathleen Walters; Chief Financial Officer, Teresa Hunter; and Chief Risk Officer, Mike Wetklow. The resignation comes after several disruptions to the IRS led by Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency, including thousands of layoffs and attempts to access taxpayer data. These departures also come amid the busiest time of year for the IRS, with the filing deadline for most individual tax returns falling on April 15th. The agreement, signed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, breaks with a longstanding IRS policy under which it encouraged immigrants to pay taxes even if they are not in the United States legally, assuring them that their data would be protected.
