The IRS acknowledged in a court filing that, under an April 2025 data-sharing agreement with DHS/ICE permitted by Section 6103 exceptions, it inappropriately overshared some immigrants’ address information: of 1.28 million addresses requested by ICE, the IRS verified 47,289 and mistakenly provided additional address data for less than 5% of those, impacting thousands; further details and implications are discussed by Erin Schilling and Erin Slowey on [Bloomberg Law](https://news.bloomberglaw.com/privacy-and-data-security/irs-overshares-thousands-of-immigrants-data-with-ice-explained).
