IRS Commissioner Billy Long was fired after only two months, reportedly due to his refusal to share confidential taxpayer data with DHS to identify undocumented immigrants. The White House, seeking to locate millions of unauthorized individuals, clashed with the IRS over data sharing, citing a prior agreement. Long's dismissal marks the shortest tenure in the agency's history. He'll become the US ambassador to Iceland. The administration denies any conflict, while critics highlight the significant tax contributions made by undocumented immigrants.
