It might be another administrative
homework assignment for the Trump White House. Still, at least, and this
is a very preliminary assessment, this government official quit when
she felt she couldn’t work for this government in good conscience. At
the same time, you’re leaving because the Trump administration wants to
deport people who came here illegally. Still, the Internal Revenue
Service is undergoing another facelift with the top brass as its acting
head quit, as the agency is now working with Immigration and Customs
Enforcement. They’re sharing illegal alien tax information (via WaPo):
The acting head of the IRS plans to resign after being
bypassed over a new agreement to share the tax data of undocumented
immigrants with Homeland Security personnel, according to two people
familiar with the situation.
Acting IRS commissioner Melanie
Krause
👋
— the tax agency’s third leader since President Donald Trump’s
inauguration — will participate in the deferred resignation program the
Trump administration offered to agency employees in recent days, said
the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of
reprisal.
Disagreements over the agency’s direction also factored into Krause’s decision to leave, the people said.
Losing
three agency leaders in three months is “unprecedented,” one of the
people said. “I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this at IRS.”
Treasury
Department officials in recent days sought to circumvent IRS executives
so immigration authorities could access private taxpayer information,
the people said. Those conversations largely excluded Krause’s input.
[…]
“She
no longer feels like she’s in a position where she can impact the
decision-making that’s happening,” said a person familiar with the
situation. “And [she believes] that some of the decisions that are being
made now are things the IRS can never recover from.”
Whatever. At least she’s not remaining in her post and fomenting
chaos behind the scenes like we saw systemically during the first Trump
presidency.
