FEDERAL JUDGE HALTS IRS-ICE DATA SHARING; 47,000 TAXPAYER ADDRESSES OFF-LIMITS FOR DEPORTATION USE

A federal judge enjoined the IRS from sharing confidential taxpayer addresses with ICE, finding the disclosures likely violated taxpayer confidentiality laws. The order limits access to about 47,000 records previously shared and requires notice and strict conditions before any future IRS-to-DHS transfers, constraining the administration’s deportation data pipeline.
