Federal appeals court rules IRS violated privacy law by sharing data with ICE
A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit upheld a lower court ruling that the IRS violated privacy law by sharing information with ICE. The court found that ICE's request for address data from the IRS was impermissible under the law. The ruling blocks the data-sharing practice between the two agencies.
