Trump 2nd term updates: Trump excludes low-value shipments from looming tariffs

The Department of Homeland Security has requested the home addresses of potential undocumented immigrants from the Internal Revenue Service, sources familiar with the matter told ABC News, as part of its efforts to ramp up the Trump administration's immigration enforcement agenda.

The tax agency rejected an initial request and is now in discussions over how to accommodate DHS without violating tax privacy laws, sources told ABC News.

DHS is seeking to provide names to the IRS in exchange for home addresses, phone numbers and email addresses, an administration official told ABC News.

Section 6103 of the federal tax code requires the IRS to keep individual taxpayer information confidential with certain exceptions.

The IRS has allowed undocumented immigrants to file income tax returns with Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs). Undocumented immigrants contributed $25.7 billion in Social Security taxes using borrowed or fraudulent Social Security numbers, according to the Bipartisan Policy Center.

DHS has also asked the agency for auditors and investigators and accountants to help investigate businesses that may be hiring undocumented immigrants not authorized to work in the U.S. and is seeking the agency's help targeting financial networks supporting trafficking organizations, the sources said.

Last month, DHS formally requested to deputize IRS agents from the Treasury Department for help with immigration enforcement.

The Washington Post was first to report the DHS request to the IRS for taxpayer information and resources.

A spokesperson for the IRS and the DHS did not respond to a request for comment.

Department of Education employees were sent an email Friday offering a lump sum payment of up to $25,000 to voluntarily separate or retire by 11:59 P.M. ET on Monday night, a source familiar with the message told ABC News.

The department sent what’s called a VSIP, or Voluntary Separation Incentive Payment, which authorizes agencies to give lump sum payments of up to $25,000 for employees to voluntarily separate, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

"It’s a one-time offer in advance of a significant Reduction in Force (RIF) for the US Department of Education," the memo stated.

The VSIP will take effect March 31.

The VSIP excludes people who received a loan discharge within the last three years, among other exclusions, according to a Department of Education employee who received the memo and spoke to ABC News on the condition of anonymity due to fear of retaliation.

President Donald Trump signed an executive order that designated English as the official language of the U.S.

ABC News reported on Friday that the president was expected to sign the order.

The order rescinds a Clinton-era mandate that required agencies and recipients of federal funding to provide extensive language assistance to non-English speakers.

Agencies will have the flexibility to decide how and when to offer services in languages other than English, and they can keep current policies and provide documents and services in other languages, according to the order.

GOP Sen. Lisa Murkowski took to X to share her disappointment with the Trump administration appearing to embrace Putin following Friday's meeting with Zelenskyy.

"This week started with administration officials refusing to acknowledge that Russia started the war in Ukraine. It ends with a tense, shocking conversation in the Oval Office and whispers from the White House that they may try to end all U.S. support for Ukraine," Murkowski wrote on X.

"I know foreign policy is not for the faint of heart, but right now, I am sick to my stomach as the administration appears to be walking away from our allies and embracing Putin, a threat to democracy and U.S. values around the world," she added.
