Court rejects bid to block IRS from sharing immigrants data with DHS
A federal appeals court on Tuesday denied a migrant advocacy group’s request to temporarily block the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing immigrants’ data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
A three-judge panel on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals denied the request, filed by Centro de Trabajadores Unidos and other advocacy groups after the U.S. District Court for Washington, D.C., denied their motion for a preliminary injunction inMay.
In April, DHS and the Treasury Department agreed to a memorandum of understanding, under which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials could request the names and addresses of individuals suspected to be living in the U.S. without legal status. Then-acting IRS commissioner Melanie Krause resigned over the agreement.
Undocumented migrants pay taxes in the U.S., while American employers who hired undocumented migrants may be subject to fines, penalties and sanctions from ICE, according to the IRS.
In Wednesday’s 35-page ruling, Judge Harry T. Edwards wrote the appellants are “unlikely to succeed on the merits of their claims,” since the IRS is legally able to disclose addresses if they are not “taxpayer return information.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi wrote Tuesday on social platform X that the ruling “is a crucial victory for President Trump’s agenda to Make America Safe Again.”
“It also reaffirms a simple truth: laws set by Congress must be enforced, not undermined by activist judges,” Bondi added.
The Hill has reached out to Centro de Trabajadores Unidos for comment.
Earlier this month, IRS Chief Risk and Control Officer Dottie Romo acknowledged in a court filing the tax service improperly disclosed taxpayer information to ICE even when officials from the latter agency provided insufficient data on an individual.
