The Internal Revenue Service has refused to provide data on 700,000 individuals suspected of being in the country illegally.

Department of Homeland Security officials asked the IRS on Thursday to connect the names of potential illegals with data on their last known addresses, phone numbers and email addresses. A similar request was made two weeks before.

The IRS has rejected the requests and is now attempting to negotiate terms that allow it to assist immigration officers without violating tax-privacy laws.

The DHS also asked the IRS to deploy auditors to investigate businesses suspected of hiring illegal immigrants.

According to The Washington Post, “The memo and requests have prompted deep alarm within the IRS, the people said. Providing taxpayer information to third parties is punishable by civil and criminal penalties, and other government entities are forbidden from ordering tax investigations. People familiar with the DHS’s requests described them as ‘Nixonian,’ referring to how President Richard M. Nixon’s administration used the IRS to collect information about perceived enemies. Abuse of the tax system was one of the articles of impeachment filed against Nixon in 1974, though he resigned before impeachment proceeded.”
