IRS partners with ICE

(CNN)– The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and Department of Homeland Security appear closer to finalizing an information-sharing agreement.

A person familiar with the matter says it would enable Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to submit names and addressees of people who might be in the U.S. illegally.

The source says the IRS could then cross-reference and confirm that information.

The president’s supporters say his immigration policies are what voters want.

Critics say involving the IRS could endanger taxpayer privacy.
