IRS acting commissioner Melanie Krause is resigning over a deal to share immigrants' tax data with ICE.
The agreement allows ICE to verify tax records of immigrants in the U.S. illegally.
The deal is part of President Trump's broader immigration crackdown, including deportations and workplace raids.
Critics argue the data-sharing violates privacy laws and could discourage tax compliance among immigrants.
The IRS-DHS agreement has raised concerns about potential violations of taxpayer privacy statutes.
ICE claims the agreement will help identify individuals fraudulently collecting benefits.
Tax law experts warn IRS officials could face legal consequences for sharing taxpayer data unlawfully.
