A federal judge has ordered the Delaware Labor Department to turn over wage records to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, resolving a legal dispute between state officials and federal immigration authorities over access to confidential employer and employee data. The ruling, handed down in federal court, came after Delaware resisted ICE's requests on privacy and confidentiality grounds; the judge's decision sided with federal authority and cleared the way for ICE to obtain the personnel and payroll information it sought for immigration enforcement purposes.
