A viral Facebook post claims that 1,500 IRS agents resigned after President Donald Trump announced plans to reassign IRS employees to border duty. This claim is false and originates from a satire site, Real Raw News, which openly admits that its content is fictional and satirical.
What Trump’s Really Planning IRS Agents
While the mass resignation story is fabricated, Trump has made it clear that he intends to either fire or reassign the tens of thousands of IRS agents hired under Biden’s administration. During a Las Vegas rally, Trump blasted Biden’s plan to expand the IRS, stating:
“On day one, I immediately halted the hiring of any new IRS agents. [The Biden administration] tried to hire 88,000 new workers to go after you. And we’re in the process of developing a plan to either terminate all of them or maybe we’ll move them to the border. And I think we’re going to move them to the border.”
Cleaning Up Biden’s Mess
Although there’s no mass IRS exodus, the Biden-era work-from-home policies are ending, and federal workers, including IRS employees, must return to in-office work. According to CBS News, the administration is offering a “deferred resignation program”, allowing workers to voluntarily resign in September if they choose not to comply with the return-to-office mandate.
Left-Wing Fact-Checkers Miss Again
While mainstream fact-checkers are quick to debunk satirical stories, they often ignore the real issue—Trump’s policy shift is happening. The Biden administration poured billions into expanding the IRS, hiring tens of thousands of new tax enforcers, while Americans struggled with inflation and rising taxes.
Trump’s plan to gut the IRS and shift resources to border security is exactly the kind of America First policy that Washington bureaucrats hate—which is why the media is scrambling to distort the narrative.
The Bottom Line
No, 1,500 IRS agents did not resign en masse—but Trump’s plan to dismantle Biden’s IRS army is very real. The left can laugh off satire, but they can’t ignore the fact that big government is being reined in under Trump’s leadership.
