I think Greg is correct, but Americans need to be aware that Magyar’s Tisza government is aggressively going after every Fidesz official, removing them, using every lever of the state to yank them out of power. This is far more aggressive and rapid than anything proposed in the US so far.
![Until 2025, the IRS had interpreted section 6103(i)(2) “to
prohibit disclosure of a taxpayer’s address when no other
information is requested.” Centro de Trabajadores Unidos,
167 F.4th at 1226. That spring, however, “news reports
emerged that [the Department of Homeland Security] had
asked IRS to disclose addresses of some undocumented
taxpayers.” Id. It came to light that the Department of
Homeland Security had entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) with the IRS “to establish the
procedures and requirements for” ICE to submit putatively
“valid I[nternal] R[evenue] C[ode] § 6103(i)(2) requests for
addresses of persons subject to criminal investigation under 8
U.S.C. § 1253(a)(1)”—a statute that, among other things,
criminalizes willfully remaining in the United States beyond a
90-day grace period after a final order of removal has been
issued. DHS-ICE MOU 2 (App. 359).
With the MOU in place, ICE Acting Director Todd Lyons
sent a written request to the IRS seeking “the last known
address” for 1.28 million undocumented individuals. Lyons
Letter 1-2 (June 27, 2025) (App. 326-27); Romo Decl. ¶ 4, Ctr.
for Taxpayer Rts., 815 F. Supp. 3d 1 (D.D.C. 2025) (No. 25-
0457), Dkt. No. 66-1. Director Lyons’s letter announced that
ICE sought that information from the IRS because it “may
contain address information which is potentially at issue with
respect to investigating . . . a violation under 8 U.S.C.
§ 1253(a)(1).” Lyons Letter 1 (App. 326). On July 1, the IRS
gave its employees the “green light” to begin processing ICE’s
1.28 million requests. “Letter from ICE” Emails 1-2 (App.
440-41).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifqofp5mp23mgvw2aqxsb5xe7hpegtri3bxmelbbhetnwf5rshhfy)
