Trump Scores Momentous Legal Victory

The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals delivered a major win for President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown this week, ruling that the IRS can share certain taxpayer information with the Department of Homeland Security to help identify and deport illegal immigrants.

In a decision that strengthens federal enforcement authority, the court found that existing law does not create a blanket shield protecting illegal immigrants’ tax records from being used in lawful immigration investigations.

At the center of the case was Section 6103 of the Internal Revenue Code, which governs the confidentiality of tax returns. Advocacy groups had argued that the statute bars the IRS from sharing information with DHS for deportation purposes and warned that cooperation would “undermine trust” in the tax system.

The appeals court disagreed, concluding that the law contains exceptions that allow disclosures tied to legitimate law enforcement functions. Immigration enforcement, the court indicated, does not exist in a legal vacuum.

The ruling overturns a lower court decision that had blocked the Trump administration from coordinating between the IRS and DHS.

For years, millions of illegal immigrants have filed tax returns using Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers, or ITINs, even though they are not authorized to work in the United States. Critics of the lower court ruling argued it effectively created a safe harbor, allowing individuals in the country illegally to provide personal information to one arm of the federal government while shielding it from another.

Rats have felt free to do this whenever it's has suited their agenda. Now all that precedent bites them on the butt.
The Republic is lost.
