Referred to the House Committee on Ways and Means.
This resolution asks the President and directs the Secretaries of the Treasury and Homeland Security to provide the House copies of documents related to the Treasury-DHS Memorandum of Understanding on non-tax criminal information sharing within 14 days, with lawful redactions allowed. It is a House simple resolution, which means it expresses the House's request and directs the agencies but is not itself a law that forces compliance. The text specifies types of records sought, such as requests for taxpayer return information, agency policies and procedures, audit trails, and records about any alleged violations and responses. The executive branch can still refuse or withhold material based on legal privileges or other protections, and further enforcement would require separate action.
This House resolution requests that the President, and directs the Treasury and Homeland Security Secretaries, to provide the House copies of documents related to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between Treasury and DHS on exchanging nontax criminal enforcement information.
The requested materials — with redactions only as required by law — must be furnished within 14 days and include requests or disclosures of taxpayer return information, related policies and procedures, records of compliance or violations, and actions taken or considered.
This is a nonbinding House oversight resolution, not statutory law; even if adopted, compliance by the executive could be resisted on legal or privilege grounds.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a focused and specific documentary request that clearly defines what materials are sought and who must provide them, and it sets a firm short-term deadline. It is relatively well-constructed for a reporting/resolution instrument but omits several operational details that are commonly relevant to interbranch document productions.
Privacy and civil-liberty emphasis versus law-enforcement effectiveness

Privacy and civil-liberty emphasis versus law-enforcement effectiveness
Likely supportive because it advances transparency and oversight of interagency data-sharing involving sensitive tax information.
This persona will emphasize civil liberties, privacy, and preventing immigration or policing uses of taxpayer data without safeguards.
Generally favorable to oversight but cautious about operational and national-security implications.
This persona wants a balanced approach that secures privacy while not unduly hampering legitimate law enforcement or border security functions.
Skeptical or opposed: prioritizes law enforcement and border security and worries the request politicizes or impedes operational capabilities.
May also suspect partisan motives behind the inquiry.
