Immigration Enforcement and Tax Data Sharing
The question of whether the IRS can share immigrant taxpayers’ data with ICE has been answered. A recent D.C. Circuit decision in Centro de Trabajadores Unidos v. Bessent upheld the basic legality of using 26 U.S.C. § 6103(i)(2) to disclose limited address information for bona fide criminal immigration investigations, so long as strict statutory safeguards are met.
