The Internal Revenue Service has reached an agreement with the Department of Homeland Security to share the data of immigrants in the country illegally to assist with immigration enforcement, according to a new court filing.

The arrangement, formalized Monday in a memorandum of understanding, allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement to request taxpayer information from the IRS for individuals under criminal investigation or who have deportation orders, including names and addresses.

“DHS can legally request return information relating to individuals under criminal investigation, and the IRS must provide it,” Andrew J. Weisberg, a tax division attorney with the Department of Justice, wrote Monday in opposition to a lawsuit by advocacy organizations seeking to block the sharing of tax information with immigration authorities.
