The Department of Justice has made employment tax enforcement a key component of immigration enforcement. From the failure to disclose employment-related tax issues during naturalization process to targeting employers who hire unauthorized workers, recent government actions, including a 2025 data-sharing agreement between the Internal Revenue Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement, have intensified this coordinated approach. In addition, the DOJ has announced a denaturalization initiative, which can have important implications for naturalized U.S. citizens, their defense counsel, prosecutors, and judges. This panel will discuss recent DOJ guidance and what employers and naturalized citizens should know about the tax implications of immigration-related violations and non-compliance with relevant tax, immigration and employment law considerations.
