Why would anyone be opposed to the IRS catching tax cheats? This seems like such a bone-headed take.
In any case it’s also historically illiterate, the IRS has long been used as a political weapon, infamously against “Tea Party” activists.

That isn't the issue being discussed. This is illustrating that armed, masked goons as a political weapon is a pandora's box that will get turned against everyone, regardless of status. Some people just don't care about the violence in Minnesota because it isn't happening to them.
Obama even gave Tom Homan a medal for his work.
It's not about whether the US deports criminals. It's about how we go about doing it.
And ICE says they only go after illegals.
Similarly, you can think it would be good to catch tax fraud, but think that it should be handled without executing folks.
that claim was disproved by the way
but, it is famously how the feds managed to get Al Capone

> Conservatives claimed that they were specifically targeted by the IRS, but an exhaustive report released by the Treasury Department's Inspector General in 2017 found that from 2004 to 2013, the IRS used both conservative and liberal keywords to choose targets for further scrutiny.
This was spun as "targeting conservatives".
