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.

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.

They want slaves, not tax payers.

Their goal isn't more money. Their goal is owning literally everything and having ultimate power.

But see, if they're paying taxes, that's how you know they're the WORST of the worst. /s

None of this matters if there's no punishment. I'm certain there will be no punishment.

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.

If people are not held accountable for breaking laws, then laws mean nothing.

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.
