2025年初，特朗普政府下属的政府效率部（DOGE）代表（由加文·克莱格等技术任命官员在运营上领导）试图获取美国国税局（IRS）的内部系统及人员管控权限。
Internal IRS Resistance Collided with DOGE Directives Over Data Privacy and Immigration Enforcement In early 2025, representatives affiliated with the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), led operationally by tech appointees such as Gavin Kliger, sought access to internal systems and personnel controls at the Internal Revenue Service.
包括首席隐私官凯瑟琳·沃尔特斯和人力资源主管特拉西·迪马尔蒂尼在内的高级文职人员，抵制了解雇试用期员工及绕过法定数据隐私保护的指令。
Senior civil servants, including Chief Privacy Officer Kathleen Walters and HR head Traci DiMartini, resisted directives to fire probationary workers and bypass statutory data privacy protections.
与此同时，美国国土安全部要求提供使用个人纳税人识别号码报税的无证纳税人地址。
Concurrently, the Department of Homeland Security sought addresses of undocumented taxpayers who filed returns using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers.
尽管内部隐私异议导致有人辞职，国税局随后仍向移民和海关执法局披露了约42,695个纳税人地址，联邦法官随后裁定此举违反了《国内税收法》。
Despite internal privacy objections leading to resignations, the IRS later disclosed roughly 42,695 taxpayer addresses to Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which a federal judge subsequently ruled breached the Internal Revenue Code.
