America First Legal Foundation is a conservative legal organization that claimed that Biden’s recent executive orders reveal that the administration “intends to alter Internal Revenue Service’s audit algorithms to target white, Asian, or mixed-race taxpayers,” Fox News Digital reported.

According to AFL, IRS will restructure auditing practices in order to target taxpayers by race. “racial equity.”

Biden signed a 2021 executive order entitled “Einen Alle All Und Get get all Hall an ALL in Refer privat bundesweit Bett DurchFederal Government Supports Underserved Communities and Racial Equity“, which asked that the federal government prioritise creating a “whole-of-government approach to equity.”

Biden last week passed an executive order entitled “Federal Government: Additional Support for Racial Equity, and Racial Support for the Underserved“, which required that federal agencies create an annual report. “equity action plan” To remove obstacles and increase engagement “underserved communities.”

Federal agencies are directed to follow the instructions in the order. “prevent and remedy discrimination, including by protecting the public from algorithmic discrimination.”

The following is an extract from the AFL, “There is very strong reason to believe that the Treasury Department is altering the IRS’s audit algorithms to illegally operationalize racial quotas and/or requiring agents to use imputed race and ethnicity data to ensure ‘racial equity.'”

The legal group responded by filing a Freedom of Information Act request Ask for communications records starting January 2021 from certain individuals at the Treasury Department or the Internal Revenue Service, including Treasury Sec Janet Yellen and senior officials.

The request for communication is made “referring to ‘discrimination,’ ‘discriminatory,’ ‘race,’ ‘racial,’ ‘ethnicity,’ ‘color,’ ‘BIPOC,’ ‘Asian’ ‘Indigenous,’ ‘Black,’ ‘Brown,’ or ‘White’ on the one hand, and ‘audit,’ ‘enforcement,’ ‘NRP,’ ‘RAAS,’ ‘algorithmic,’ ‘selection,’ ‘sampling,’ or ‘strata,’ on the other.”

“The notion that race should play any role whatsoever in the IRS’s operations is absurd, offensive to the American ideal, and illegal,” Gene Hamilton, AFL vice President and general counsel.

“But the Biden administration is so blinded by its relentless obsession with race that it is willing to make IRS enforcement decisions based on the race of American citizens. We will fight their attempts to erode equality under the law and expose their attempts to inject toxic ‘equity’-based policies throughout the federal government,” Hamilton added.

Fox News Digital reported that no comment was received from the Treasury Department.
