Kansas Sheriff Threatens to Deploy ‘Army’ of Deputies Against IRS Agents
Johnson County Sheriff Calvin Hayden said a federal law allowing the Internal Revenue Service to add 87,000 employees posed a threat to people in Kansas’ most populous county and could require deployment of deputies to repel tax investigators.
Hayden, who described the IRS as a “spooky, spooky entity,” generated applause from a group of about 30 people during a two-hour open meeting at the Johnson County Sheriff’s Department headquarters with a promise to protect their homes as if they were castles.
The sheriff, who is leading a criminal investigation into alleged election fraud in the 2020 elections, said the IRS problem resulted from the Inflation Reduction Act approved by Congress and signed by President Joe Biden. The law earmarked $45 billion for enforcement activities over the next decade to help close the gap between what Americans owed in federal taxes and what they paid.
“That’s why it’s important for us to have an army that you can depend on,” said Hayden, referring to department’s 500 employees. “Because, I will tell you, they’re going to have to have every IRS agent in the United States come to Johnson County, Kansas, before they start doing the crap they’re doing. We’re going to be 500 strong, and we’ll do what we need to do.”
Hayden said he had authority to order the FBI to leave Johnson County, but he claimed to have less control over the IRS. He asserted IRS agents could enter homes of U.S. residents without a warrant. (Read more from “Kansas Sheriff Threatens to Deploy ‘Army’ of Deputies Against IRS Agents” HERE)
