A federal judge, appointed by former President Bill Clinton, has temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from helping Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents locate illegal aliens using tax information.

Late last week, United States District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly for the District of Columbia issued a stay or preliminary injunction to prevent the IRS from handing over tax information to ICE agents seeking to locate illegal aliens.

“Plaintiffs have shown a substantial likelihood that both the IRS’s implementation of the Address-Sharing Policy and its subsequent sharing of taxpayer information with ICE were unlawful under the [Administrative Procedure Act (APA)],” Kollar-Kotelly wrote:

The deal, which was historic for both ICE and the IRS, allowed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem or ICE Director Todd Lyons to submit a request to the IRS for information regarding an illegal alien who has been ordered to be deported.
