President Donald Trump received a court win on Monday when a federal judge denied an injunction that would have prevented two federal agencies from working together on immigration.
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich denied the attempt at legal action against Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent from immigration groups like Centro de Trabajadores Unidos. The injunction sought to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing taxpayer information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for the purposes of identifying illegal immigrants who are subject to deportation efforts.
“Plaintiffs Centro de Trabajadores Unidos, Immigrant Solidarity DuPage, Somos Un Pueblo Unido, and Inclusive Action for the City bring this action seeking declaratory and injunctive relief to prevent the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing personal tax information with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) for immigration enforcement purposes. Before the Court is the plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction, Dkt. 28. For the reasons that follow, the Court will deny the motion,” Judge Friedrich’s ruling reads.
“At its core, this case presents a narrow legal issue: Does the Memorandum of Understanding between the IRS and DHS violate the Internal Revenue Code? It does not.”
DHS Assistant Secretary of Public Affairs Tricia McLaughlin told Fox News Digital that the purpose of sharing the information is to “determine what public safety and terror threats may exist so we can neutralize them, scrub these individuals from voter rolls, as well as identify what public benefits these aliens are using at taxpayer expense.”
“Under President Trump’s leadership, the government is finally doing what it should have all along—sharing information across the federal government to solve problems. Biden not only allowed millions of illegal aliens—including gang members, suspected terrorists, and violent criminals—to flood into our country, but he also lost them due to incompetence and improper processing,” she added.
“Information sharing across agencies is essential to identify who is in our country and determine what public safety and terror threats may exist so we can neutralize them, scrub these individuals from voter rolls, as well as identify what public benefits these aliens are using at taxpayer expense. Today’s ruling is a victory for the American people and for commonsense.”
