The recent ousting of IRS Commissioner Billy Long stemmed from a dispute with the White House regarding the use of tax data to identify potential undocumented immigrants. The clash highlights the intersection of government agencies and data privacy concerns. The Trump administration’s decision to remove Long came shortly after the IRS expressed limitations in releasing information on taxpayers suspected of residing in the country unlawfully.
