Here's one...
What are they going to do? Tax them to death? I don't see how they are equipped. Do they have nerd pocket protectors?
The IRS does have special agents that are LEOs. They carry government issued guns. The special agents based out of Waco and Houston used to recruit MBAs at Mays in the early 2000's. Not sure if they still do.
In their normal career, they follow the money of criminals, and confiscate the car or house that your local drug kingpin bought his mom with drug or blood money.
I could see them being really helpful in tracing the money of drug lords to identify other illegals involved in drug trafficking, and making arrests.
Not sure if that is what is going on, but the above is far from outlandish, and would be good use of taxpayer money.
