The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit was scheduled to hear arguments Friday in a case concerning the extent of IRS’ authority to share taxpayer address data with immigration authorities. Leading up to the hearing, the plaintiff civil rights and advocacy organizations spoke to reporters to emphasize what is at stake for immigrant taxpayers. (Centro de Trabajadores Unidos v. Bessent, No. 25-5181)
