She argued that if the federal government isn\u2019t effectively running programs, why should the state continue funding them: \u201cyou\u2019re paying us for a service \u2026 and they\u2019re not delivering. So let\u2019s stop paying for it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"591\" data-end=\"1222\">Similarly, California Governor <strong data-start=\"622\" data-end=\"638\">Gavin Newsom<\/strong> previously raised the possibility of withholding federal taxes after reports that Trump planned to cut funding for state universities.  However, legal and practical obstacles prevented the threat from materializing. Newsom acknowledged that most federal taxes are paid directly by individuals and businesses, making it difficult for a state to withhold them. \u00a0Meanwhile, Treasury Secretary <strong data-start=\"1103\" data-end=\"1120\">Scott Bessent<\/strong> warned that such action could amount to criminal tax evasion.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1224\" data-end=\"1748\">In a related development, <strong data-start=\"1250\" data-end=\"1296\">U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar\u2011Kotelly<\/strong> ruled that the IRS likely broke the law by sharing taxpayer address data with <strong data-start=\"1375\" data-end=\"1420\">Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)<\/strong>.  The judge called the IRS\u2019s \u201cAddress\u2011Sharing Policy\u201d arbitrary, noting it departed from its prior strict confidentiality without a reasoned explanation\u2014violating both the Administrative Procedure Act and taxpayer\u2013privacy protections in the tax code.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1750\" data-end=\"2250\">Court documents show ICE initially requested data on more than <strong data-start=\"1813\" data-end=\"1826\">7\u202fmillion<\/strong> taxpayers, later narrowing that to <strong data-start=\"1862\" data-end=\"1901\">1.28\u202fmillion \u201cimmigrant taxpayers.\u201d<\/strong> \u00a0The IRS ultimately provided ICE with <strong data-start=\"1977\" data-end=\"1994\">around 47,000<\/strong> addresses.  Under the court\u2019s preliminary injunction, the IRS is barred from sharing any more tax return information with ICE unless it involves a non-tax criminal investigation.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2252\" data-end=\"2553\">These intertwined developments reflect growing tensions over federal-state financial relations and immigrant privacy. While governors like Sherrill and Newsom use withholding talks as political pressure, the court\u2019s decision underscores the legal limits of using tax data for immigration enforcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>New Jersey Governor\u2011elect Mikie Sherrill has publicly floated the idea of withholding federal tax payments in protest of the Trump administration, calling it a \u201cfantastic idea\u201d in&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":16170,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16169","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.4 -
