WASHINGTON (AP) — For years, Republicans, including President Donald Trump, have railed against the IRS and its cadre of armed agents. Now the administration has big plans for them: It wants the agents to assist with immigration enforcement.

In the memo, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem asked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to deputize IRS agents to help with immigration enforcement efforts across the country. That work could include auditing employers believed to have hired migrants living in the U.

House and Senate Republicans are on a collision course when it comes to Trump's legislative agenda, with dueling markups expected this week in the two budget committees.

Border czar” Tom Homan bristled at Pope Francis over his recent criticism of President Donald Trump‘s deportation agenda. Homan briefly spoke to reporters Tuesday morning at the White House, where he said he was “not satisfied” with the number of arrests of criminal illegal immigrants the administration has logged during Trump’s first weeks in office.

President Trump’s budget director Russell Vought and his border czar Tom Homan told Senate Republicans on Tuesday that the administration is running out of money to carry out the president’s border security and immigration enforcement executive orders.
