Trump Plans to Fire or Reassign 88,000 IRS Agents to Border Patrol Amid Hiring Freeze
Jan 26, 2025, 12:33 AM
President Donald Trump announced plans to terminate or reassign nearly 88,000 IRS agents hired under the Biden administration to border patrol duties. Speaking at a rally at the Circa Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, Trump stated his administration is developing a plan to either fire the agents or move them to the southern border, where some could be armed as part of their duties. Trump also emphasized his decision to halt the hiring of new IRS agents under an indefinite hiring freeze, which had been part of the Inflation Reduction Act's funding for the agency. The proposal aligns with Trump's broader agenda to prioritize border security and streamline government operations. The agents' reassignment or termination is part of a broader effort to address fiscal and immigration policies.
