Appeals court maintains IRS data block
A federal appeals court upheld an injunction preventing the IRS from sharing taxpayers’ addresses with immigration authorities, ruling that the agency violated federal laws by unlawfully disclosing information without proper justification. The court found that the IRS's procedures failed to ensure compliance with legal requirements, particularly in cases involving requests for over 1.28 million taxpayers' data, and concluded that the data-sharing practices violated privacy protections. The Department of Homeland Security disagrees with the ruling and plans to continue lawful efforts to locate and remove illegal immigrants.
