Appeals court gives OK to IRS to keep sharing information with ICE
The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals said immigrants' rights groups were unlikely to succeed on claims that the data-sharing pact violated tax code or circumvented agency rule-making.

CBP inspectors at the airports will soon be saying: "Welcome home, Mr. Whifflespoon. I see you have been late paying your taxes every year. Would you please come this way to secondary inspection, Sir?"

Ah yes, the rule of law...one remembers when America was run by such a concept, where there were consequences for the rich and powerful for killing, stealing, insurrection....
In today's America, there is no rule of law for rich people, just for the poor. If you have enough billions, you can buy Congress, you can, like Musk, buy the Presidency for Trump, but if you are struggling along with social security, and watching the approaching cutting of benefits thanks to the Trumpian gang not giving a damn about you...

Funny, All these violent criminal "illegals" apparently have SSN and file taxes...

When will you rubes wake up? They are going after the documented, including those that have done everything right and may got a parking ticket. You know the real violent organized crime kind of criminals terrorizing the US.

At the very least every single one of these should have required a judicial warrant.

The Appeals court determined the government did NOT break the law.

"The appellants had argued that the IRS's sharing of information with ICE violated Section 6103 of the federal tax code, which guarantees taxpayer privacy. The judges, however, said the immigrants' rights groups were unlikely to succeed on that "contrary-to-law claim" because 6103 "straightforwardly says that addresses can be disclosed if they are not taxpayer return information.'"

Not overturned but established their chance of success were unlikely to succeed.

Good luck proving the law was broken.

Not overruled. So the IRS broke the law and you lied. Again.

How desperate are you for a job working for Trumpy anyway?

Good luck proving the law was broken.

Don't have to.

It's already been proven. Besides that is what the lawyers are for. Good luck defending Trumpy and his crimes.

And Good Luck pretending Trumpy is not a Convicted Felon and that the law is not constantly being broken by him.
