Appeals Court Backs IRS Data-Sharing Deal
2 weeks ago
A federal appeals court in Washington, D-C has rejected a request to temporarily block the I-R-S from sharing limited taxpayer data with immigration authorities.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that immigrant rights groups are unlikely to succeed in their claim that the agreement violates privacy law.
The deal — signed by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — allows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to submit names for verification against I-R-S records.
