Police Use Income Tax Filings to Enforce Immigration Law

In another example of overzealous law enforcement officials confusing immigrants for dangerous individuals, the New York Times reported that the sheriff and district attorney of Weld County, Colorado have teamed up to identify undocumented people through income tax filings. Sheriff’s officials have reportedly seized thousands of confidential tax filings from a small tax preparation business in a Latin@ community. “I don’t care whether they are meth addicts or petty thieves or illegal immigrants,” district attorney Ken Buck told the Times. “What matters most to me is that they are committing felonies through identify theft.”
This conflation of drug users and undocumented immigrants would be laughable if it were not coming from the mouth of an individual charged with prosecuting crimes.
