U.S. Appeals Court Upholds Injunction Blocking IRS Policy on Sharing Taxpayer Addresses with Immigration Authorities

A U.S. appeals court has upheld an injunction against an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) policy that allowed it to share thousands of taxpayer addresses with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Trump administration's practice violated federal law. The IRS had disclosed approximately 47,000 taxpayer addresses to ICE under a procedure adopted to expand immigration enforcement.
