John,

The IRS just broke a decades-long promise. In a quiet, chilling agreement, it will now begin funneling tax information about undocumented immigrants directly to ICE.

Millions of hardworking, undocumented taxpayers who were told that their information would be kept confidential are now having their data handed over to federal immigration enforcement. This is a direct attack on immigrant communities and the idea of civic trust. And unless Congress steps in immediately, the damage will be profound and irreversible.

People will be forced further into the shadows. Fewer will pay taxes out of fear. And the burden will fall squarely on working families and communities trying to do the right thing.

For years, immigrants without legal status have paid billions into our tax system under the good faith understanding that their data would not be weaponized against them. If the IRS breaks that promise now, the consequences will ripple across our entire democracy.

Tell Congress: Stop the IRS from turning tax data into deportation lists. Block this dangerous policy now.

Our democracy doesn’t work if people can’t safely participate in it. By targeting immigrant taxpayers, the IRS is laying the groundwork for a two-tier system: one where compliance brings punishment instead of protection.

We cannot afford to let this stand. When the government punishes people for complying with the law, especially people already vulnerable to abuse, it sends a message that the law itself cannot be trusted. That message undermines every democratic value we hold.

Congress must intervene. We need legislation that prohibits this data-sharing agreement and reaffirms the principle that no one should fear being hunted for fulfilling their civic duties. The reality is that ICE will expand its power unchecked into every corner of civic life unless we step up now.

The IRS works for us, not for ICE. Help remind every single member of Congress of that fact.

Together, we will protect our values and every person who calls this country home.
