However, officials say many are now too scared to file after the IRS agreed to share information at the request of ICE officers."This is an agreement that exclusively addresses undocumented migrants who already have a final deportation order to their names.

While most migrants won't have their information shared, Pineda said the damage has already been done, and now scared residents who were paying their taxes might not."The trust has been broken. There was trust before that information you were sharing with different agencies within the U.S. government was not to be shared, was confidential," Pineda said. >> Video Below: Oklahoma law enforcement agencies to work soon with immigration agents for Operation GuardianHaving a paper trail can help prove they are responsible members of society as they work through the immigration process."The truth is, there is hard data that proves most undocumented migrants do pay taxes," Pineda said. "Because most of these taxes are actually retained by their employers in their pay stubs, and the consulate has advised our nationals through financial education programs to actually get an ITIN number, which is a number the IRS provides people who do not have a Social Security number so they can actually file their taxes." >> Video Below: 'Not a public safety issue': Gov.

It is important for them to understand exactly what this executive order means," Pineda said.
