A federal judge has halted IRS–DHS address sharing after the IRS acknowledged in court that it improperly disclosed confidential taxpayer information in connection with the agreement. IRS officials said ICE submitted about 1.28 million names, the IRS matched roughly 47,000 to tax records and provided additional address information for under 5% of those matches; Treasury notified DHS in January and asked that any improperly shared IRS‑derived data be remediated or disposed of, while advocates warned the incident underscores risks of opening tax data to immigration enforcement.

A federal judge temporarily blocked HHS from rescinding public-health grants to four Democratic-led states, pausing an administration effort tied to roughly $600 million in CDC funding. Separately, courts have pushed back on other Trump administration moves — one judge even invoked George Orwell when rejecting an attempt to erase the history of slavery in Philadelphia — signaling broader judicial resistance to such actions.
