The Trump administration scored a major victory on Monday after a federal judge ruled that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) can share its database with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to help locate and identify alleged illegal migrants.
U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich sided with the Trump administration in a lawsuit brought by the immigrant-rights group Centro de Trabajadores Unidos, by declining to issue an injunction to block the two government agencies from partnering on illegal immigration.
Friedrich ruled that the partnership, which allows Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials to submit names of illegal migrants to the IRS, who would provide the current addresses to ICE and DHS, did not violate the IRS' code, per Fox News.
"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," Friedrich wrote in his order. "The Court agrees that requesting and receiving information for civil enforcement purposes would constitute a cognizable injury, but none of the organizations have established that such an injury is imminent. As the plaintiffs acknowledge, the Memorandum only allows sharing information for criminal investigations."

Strange to see a Federal Judge who doesn’t just invent law.
Good! Finally an honest judge who hasn’t been bought and paid for by democrat lunatics.
Woohoo!
How do the libs spin this loss? Or do they just count on their loyalists inside the IRS to not comply?
