Applying for an ITIN to pay taxes and build credit without a SSN

Please note that the IRS has recently agreed to share ITIN information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) (https://www.epi.org/policywatch/ice-and-irs-reach-agreement-to-share-taxpayer-information-of-suspected-undocumented-immigrants/) Please confirm your best next steps with an immigration lawyer if you are concerned about your immigration status.
