DC Circuit rules IRS address-sharing with ICE violated federal law

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld an injunction blocking the Trump-era IRS policy that allowed sharing thousands of taxpayers’ addresses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, finding the practice violated federal law and lacked safeguards; about 47,000 records were disclosed before the injunction, and privacy groups argued the policy exceeded legal limits on interagency data sharing.
