U.S. immigration agencies

Representatives Bennie Thompson and Lou Correa are calling on the Department of Homeland Security to review cases in which U.S. citizens were wrongfully arrested or deported. The two Democrats, serving on the Homeland Security Committee, are pressing for accountability over mistaken immigration enforcement actions against Americans. The demand puts a spotlight on citizenship verification failures within federal immigration agencies.

The Trump administration is preparing to ask people filing federal tax returns whether they are U.S. citizens, according to a New York Times report. The plan involves the IRS adding a citizenship question to tax filings, a move likely to reignite debate over immigration enforcement, data sharing between agencies, and the privacy of taxpayer information. Critics are expected to challenge how such data could be used, while supporters frame it as a citizenship verification measure.
