Story summary
- A federal judge blocked the Internal Revenue Service from sharing taxpayer addresses with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, hindering U.S. President Donald Trump's deportation efforts.
- The ruling is a win for immigrant-rights advocates and the Center for Taxpayer Rights, which argued the policy harmed low-income clients including undocumented immigrants.
- Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly deemed the program unlawful, citing privacy violations, and the ruling reinforces confidentiality that encourages undocumented immigrants to pay taxes.
