PODCAST: ¿Cómo funcionaría el programa de intercambio de datos entre ICE y el IRS?

posted in: All news | 0

El programa permitiría a ICE enviar solicitudes masivas para obtener las direcciones particulares de las personas a las que pretende expulsar, y la plataforma automatizada cotejaría los nombres y las direcciones con los registros fiscales del IRS, para encontrar la información personal más reciente. Esto podría hacerse de forma masiva.

El Servicio de Impuestos Internos —o IRS como comúnmente se le conoce— está desarrollando discretamente un potente sistema de intercambio de datos que otorgaría al Servicio de Inmigración y Control de Aduanas (ICE por sus siglas en inglés) acceso masivo a los registros confidenciales de los contribuyentes, incluyendo aquellos que son inmigrantes.

ProPublica obtuvo detalles de cómo funcionaría este programa, que se empezó a impulsar bajo la administración de Donald Trump para acelerar deportaciones

El programa permitiría a ICE enviar solicitudes masivas para obtener las direcciones particulares de las personas a las que pretende expulsar, y la plataforma automatizada cotejaría los nombres y las direcciones con los registros fiscales del IRS, para encontrar la información personal más reciente. Esto podría hacerse de forma masiva.

La iniciativa ha provocado resistencia dentro del IRS y renuncias de funcionarios de alto nivel. En junio, por ejemplo, según ProPublica, el consejero general de la agencia, Andrew De Mello, se negó a entregar las direcciones de 7.3 millones de contribuyentes. Dos días después, De Mello fue forzado a dejar su trabajo.

El programa propuesto ya se ha enfrentado a retos legales. En marzo, el Centro de Trabajadores Unidos, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage y otros grupos defensores de los derechos de inmigrantes presentaron una demanda para detenerlo, pero en mayo un juez federal falló en su contra, alegando que el acuerdo general cumplía con la ley vigente que regula el intercambio de datos del IRS.

Esto abrió la puerta para que los ingenieros comenzaran a desarrollar el programa, que se espera que entre en funcionamiento a finales de julio.

ProPublica también reportó que el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional, la agencia matriz de ICE, quiere incluir a ciudadanos y residentes legales sospechosos de haber cometido delitos en su acuerdo de intercambio de datos.

Así que para hablar de la investigación, el programa y sus implicaciones, invitamos a Christopher Bing, uno de los autores del reportaje.

All six people on the sailing boat were pulled from the water by responders, and four kids were rushed to a nearby hospital where two were pronounced dead upon arrival, said Petty Officer 3rd Class Nicholas Strasburg, a spokesperson for the U.S. Coast Guard.

The six people — one adult and five kids — were in their last week of the sailing camp for kids from 7 to 15 years old, according to the Miami Yacht Club.

Two of the six who were rescued were in “good condition,” Strasburg said.

Local television stations showed first responders, some in scuba diving gear, in boats around what appears to be a barge. The Coast Guard is investigating the crash.

2 customs officers plead guilty to allowing drugs to enter the US through their inspection lanes

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Two Customs and Border Protection officers pleaded guilty this month to allowing vehicles filled with illegal drugs to enter the U.S. from Mexico, federal prosecutors said Monday.

The pair texted “a secret emoji-based code” to let Mexican traffickers know which inspection lanes they were manning at the Tecate and Otay Mesa border crossings, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a statement. Prosecutors said when the drug-laden vehicles arrived, the officers would wave them through.

Officers Jesse Clark Garcia, 37, and Diego Bonillo, 30, each pleaded guilty to multiple charges, including conspiracy to import controlled substances such as cocaine, methamphetamine and heroin, the statement says.

As part of his plea deal, Bonillo admitted that he allowed at least 165 pounds (75 kilograms) of fentanyl to enter the country, prosecutors said.

The defendants “profited handsomely, funding both domestic and international trips as well as purchases of luxury items and attempts to purchase real estate in Mexico,” the statement says.

Garcia’s sentencing is scheduled for Sept. 26, and Bonillo will be sentenced Nov. 7. They could each face a maximum sentence of life in prison, prosecutors said.

Twins send Chris Paddack to Detroit for young catching prospect

posted in: All news | 0

A day after falling to 3-6 since the all-star game, and six back in the American League wild card race, the Twins sent starter Chris Paddack to Detroit for prospect Enrique Jimenez, a major league source told the Pioneer Press.

The Twins also sent the Tigers right-hander Randy Dobnak, who has been a fixture at Class AAA St. Paul since recovering from a hand injury that derailed his major league career.

Jimenez, 19, is a Venezuelan catcher who has hit .255 with 10 home runs and 68 RBIs in the Puerto Rico summer league and Tigers rookie ball.

Paddack, 29, pitched in just 24 games in three seasons after being acquired from San Diego in 2021. He had a second Tommy John surgery in 2022, and this season has made 21 starts, going 3-9 with a 4.95 earned-run average.

He was one of six Twins playing on an expiring contract this season.

The major league trade deadline is 5 p.m. CDT on Thursday.
