Afternoon Briefing: IRS agrees to share migrants' tax information with ICE
The IRS has agreed to help Homeland Security officials find immigrants they are trying to deport, according to court records, committing to sharing information in what would be a fundamental change in how the tax collector uses its tightly regulated records.
In a court filing, Donald Trump's administration said that the IRS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement had reached the agreement and that the two agencies had not yet shared any information. Under the terms of the deal, a redacted version of which was submitted in the case, ICE officials can ask the IRS for information about people who have been ordered to leave the United States — or whom they are otherwise investigating.

Trump considers skipping G20 summit, slams South Africa's 'very bad' policies
United States President Donald Trump has indicated he may not attend the upcoming G20 summit scheduled to take place in South Africa this November, citing his disapproval of the country's policies. President Trump may skip the upcoming G20 summit in South Africa due to policy disagreements. Tensions between the U.S. and South Africa have escalated over issues including land reform laws, foreign policy stances, and relations with BRICS nations. Trump's potential absence highlights growing diplomatic friction, which could impact U.S.–Africa relations long-term. Trump's remarks come amid a deepening strain in U.S.–South Africa relations, fueled by long-standing disagreements over a range of issues including South Africa's land reform laws, its pro-Palestinian stance in the Israel–Gaza conflict, and its growing alignment with BRICS nations. These tensions have prompted the Trump administration to impose multiple sanctions on South Africa, including a 30% tariff on selected South African goods, a move that has further deteriorated bilateral relations. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump said, 'I think maybe I'll send somebody else because I've had a lot of problems with South Africa. They have some very bad policies.' South African officials have yet to issue a formal response to the statement. However, analysts warn that Trump's comments could escalate diplomatic friction ahead of the summit, which many see as a pivotal opportunity for developing countries to press for more inclusive global governance. Trump's policy dispute with South Africa Since the start of his second term in 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump has intensified tensions with South Africa, reviving a diplomatic chill driven by ideological rifts and competing global alliances. His administration has openly criticized South Africa's growing ties with Russia and China, its opposition to Western foreign policy, and its leadership role in BRICS and the Global South. The strain deepened earlier this year when US Secretary of State, Senator Marco Rubio declined an invitation to a G20 preparatory meeting in Johannesburg, citing South Africa's alignment with anti-Western regimes. Soon after, the White House instructed the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria to avoid making logistical arrangements for the G20 summit, signaling a potential boycott unless South Africa altered its stance. The friction reflects Washington's broader frustration with Pretoria's increasingly independent foreign policy, including support for Palestine, resistance to U.S.-backed sanctions, and its decision to host Russian President Vladimir Putin despite an ICC warrant. With the G20 summit now in focus, Trump's administration sees South Africa as part of a rising bloc challenging U.S. influence. What began as diplomatic friction has grown into a full-blown policy standoff that could redefine U.S.–Africa relations for years to come. Trump's potential absence from the summit could have diplomatic implications, as it would mark a rare snub of a major global economic forum hosted on African soil.
