A three-judge panel of ‌the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the IRS last year disclosed roughly 47,000 taxpayer addresses to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement under a procedure adopted as part of the administration’s efforts to expand immigration enforcement.

Under an agreement between the agencies, the IRS in July 2025 began processing ICE ‌requests for the last known addresses ⁠of as many as 1.28 million people suspected of unlawfully residing in the United States.

    We need to follow the instructions set. Who made the decision? Was it a decision or an instruction?

    That goes against everything that we are taught at the agency. I think this has something to do with them reclassifying tax data from SBU, Sensitive but Unclassified (need to know access), to CUI, Controlled Unclassified Information (still need to know but you know fuckery happens b3cause of this type of stuff)
