Court ruling supports Trump immigration policy

 Trending Politics:

U.S. District Judge Dabney Friedrich has denied an injunction aimed at blocking the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) from sharing taxpayer information with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). The decision clears the way for the IRS to cooperate with ICE under a recent agreement designed to support criminal immigration enforcement actions.

In a 16-page opinion issued Monday, Judge Friedrich rejected arguments made by four left-wing nonprofit groups — including Centro de Trabajadores Unidos and Somos Un Pueblo Unido — that the data-sharing agreement violates federal tax confidentiality laws. The plaintiffs had sought to stop the IRS from sharing Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) data with the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), claiming it would harm undocumented immigrants who file taxes in good faith.

But Friedrich ruled that the agreement between the IRS and DHS — laid out in an April 7 Memorandum of Understanding — does not violate federal statute, provided that strict legal procedures are followed.

“The Memorandum explicitly authorizes the sharing of certain tax return information for criminal immigration enforcement purposes,” the ruling states, affirming that such sharing is lawful.

Plaintiffs argued that the IRS was circumventing federal privacy laws and improperly changing its longstanding policy without considering the “reliance interests” of immigrants who have complied with tax filing requirements. But the court dismissed these claims, noting that the IRS is required by law to provide taxpayer identity information — including names and addresses — to federal agencies conducting criminal investigations, so long as they submit a valid written request.

The left in the US seems to try to find ways to protect illegal immigrant criminals.  The left tends to ignore the fact that being an illegal immigrant is a criminal offense.

Should Republicans go ahead and add Supreme Court Justices to head off Democrats

Washington Post: Some Democrats eye adding more justices to the Supreme Court to change its ideological bent The once-remote idea has gained the attention of liberals angered by the GOP push to remake the federal courts. Probably the easy way to defeat this court-packing scheme is for Trump to propose doing the same thing now.  It would lead to Democrat denunciations and claims that it would be wrong, thereby blowing up any attempt by them in the unfortunate event of Democrats winning a presidential election.

Is the F-35 obsolete?

Headline USA: Pentagon Fires Back after Musk Calls Its Most Expensive Project ‘Obsolete’ 'Yeah, as I'm sure you can appreciate, Mr. Musk is, currently, a private citizen, I'm not going to make any comments about what a private citizen may have to say about the F-35....'   ... ... Drones appear to be replacing jets for many operations.  The Russia-Ukraine war is an example of that.  Drones are often hard to detect and can be used for intelligence operations as well as for attacking enemy targets.  It would not surprise me to see drones engaging other drones in combat.  They also cost much less than manned fighters.
