Federal Appeals Court Blocks IRS from Sharing Taxpayer Data with ICE

A U.S. appeals court has upheld an injunction blocking an Internal Revenue Service (IRS) policy that allowed it to share thousands of taxpayers' addresses with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the Trump administration's practice violated federal law, citing laws passed after the Watergate scandal to prevent weaponization of tax files.
