WASHINGTON—A federal judge denied two groups’ request for a temporary restraining order that would have prevented the IRS from sharing illegal immigrants’ tax data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich said during a March 19 hearing that the plaintiffs—Centro de Trabajadores Unidos and Immigrant Solidarity DuPage—had failed to show a risk of imminent harm after the government told her that the IRS would abide by federal law governing data sharing for immigration enforcement purposes.
