      In the context of the article, this sounds merely like evidence for the appeals case aiming to overturn the order to block information sharing between the two agencies. So…at best they don’t get to continue breaking the law? Which seems appropriate - we can’t just shoot everyone in the back who breaks a privacy law 42,695 separate times. It’s not like they’re teenagers stealing snacks from Walmart.

      The ongoing case over IRS and DHS data sharing is now set to be heard by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. DHS is actively appealing Kollar-Kotelly’s November order blocking the IRS from sharing data with DHS, which was signed last year by Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The then-acting commissioner of the IRS resigned after the deal was signed.

      Literally nothing. The DOJ is corrupt. Congress has no spine or teeth. Nothing will change until they all die, or they’re all voted out, and maybe not even then.

      Probably kidnap some more children and starve them to death in concentration camps, while people argue about procedure on national TV.

    If an immigrant is paying taxes, then they should be the least of ICE’a concerns.

    It is one piece of how we keep social security going. People who pay in and never collect.

    That’s quite a specific number for what she claims is an approximation…

    So Trump sued for what 10 billion over it when it happened to him?

    Looks like 42,695 people should sue for 10 billion each from Trump.

    I thought these stupid asshole fascists always claimed immigrants don’t pay any taxes. Why would they go to the IRS for data? /s

    Go after the low level employees. If “following orders” means spending weeks embroiled in a long, drawn out lawsuit then maybe you’d tell your supervisor to suck a fuck.
