The IRS Is Building a System to Share Taxpayers' Data with ICE

Yeah I don't see how this works. Got a mortgage, you're going to report info that lead them to your financial institution who knows the address and so on. Insurance, any other financial service that did some data checks / credit checks.

I don't buy into the idea that you can magically hide your home address, this info is already out.

A step further, homeowners are public information. You can even look up the records online for free on county treasurer websites.

Not everybody owns a home, particularly the transient workers who would be concerned with ICE.

I don't think an apartment / renting would be much different.

Krebs on Security talked about this. He kept getting death threats and swat'd.

You setup corporations who own your shit. The mortgage and house ownership is handled by the corp. You own the corp, and in some cases there is an umbrella corp that owns other corps.

The corporation then rents you your house. Mortgage and related points back to the corpo address, and you use a PO Box for personal stuff.

Ditto for phones, domains, etc. -- run through the company.
