On Friday, the Trump Administration announced the removal of IRS Commissioner Billy Long—confirmed by the Senate just two months ago in June—with President Trump expected to nominate him as the next U.S. Ambassador to Iceland.

Long’s ouster reportedly follows internal tensions between the IRS and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which has been pressing the agency to share confidential taxpayer data to help locate thousands of undocumented immigrants in the United States. Hours before his dismissal, Long and the IRS refused a White House request for additional tax records—specifically data on whether certain individuals had claimed the Earned Income Tax Credit—citing “taxpayer privacy rights” and stating the information fell outside their existing agreement with DHS.
