Federal judge blocks IRS from sharing information to help ICE with deportations
A federal judge ruled the IRS-ICE data-sharing program unlawful due to taxpayer confidentiality breaches and irreparable harm to undocumented taxpayers, affecting 47,000 individuals, court records show.
- On Friday, District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocked the IRS from sharing taxpayers' home addresses with ICE, writing a 94-page opinion that found the program unlawful for failing to protect sensitive data.
- Court records show the IRS provided ICE information on about 47,000 potentially undocumented taxpayers, but the judge found it unlikely one agent could oversee so many cases personally.
- Immigrant-Rights groups hailed the ruling as a victory against mass deportations, and the Trump administration can appeal the decision, which safeguards millions of undocumented immigrants who pay taxes.
