“President Donald Trump’s administration has drastically slashed resources for enforcing tax laws, and the result has been a massive plunge in tax-related prosecutions. A Tuesday report from Reuters found that federal tax prosecutions in 2025 fell to ‘their lowest level in decades this year,’ falling by 27% over the last year. The report noted that the Trump administration has made ‘deep cuts to the Internal Revenue Service’s criminal investigative unit,’ and has also reassigned some agents who worked in the unit to focus more on immigration cases. The Trump administration has even assigned more than 20 IRS agents in the agency’s DC office to conduct patrols alongside city police officers as part of the president’s purported plan to reduce crime in the capital city, Reuters reported.” [editor’s note: They say it like it’s a bad thing! – TLK] (12/10/25)
