A federal judge found the Internal Revenue Service has broken the law thousands upon thousands of times by sharing confidential taxpayer information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued a ruling Thursday that found the vast majority of taxpayer addresses shared with ICE in August were provided without the IRS confirming the agency had provided a valid address for the individuals whose records were sought, as required by law, reported the Washington Post. "The IRS violated the [Internal Revenue Code] approximately 42,695 times by disclosing last known taxpayer addresses to ICE ... without confirming that ICE's request set forth the address of the taxpayer with respect to whom the requested return information relate[d],'" the judge wrote in her opinion.
