So far, based on what we've seen, there are just excessive redactions.

I mean, there's one document from the New York grand jury, which a federal judge ordered released, totally redacted, 119 pages all redacted.

And there are not the types of documents so far that we were looking for.

Now, we haven't done the whole review.

Last month, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., found it was likely unlawful when the IRS turned over the addresses of 47,000 non-citizens to ICE in response to a request.

Now, a separate lawsuit in Boston federal court seeks to stop ICE from using the data it received.

It also seeks to block the IRS and Social Security Administration from sharing more.

Plaintiffs argue it violates taxpayer confidentiality.

Federal records show the Social Security Administration intended to share 50,000 people's records with ICE every month.

The federal government has argued the data sharing is lawful.

The court order blocks one of the ways the Trump administration has been taking unprecedented steps to share personal data with ICE to boost deportations.

Back in August, the IRS turned over the addresses of 47,000 people to ICE.

The judge found that data sharing was unlawful.

The order bars Treasury Secretary Scott Bassett from sharing confidential taxpayer information with the Department of Homeland Security or its sub-agencies, unless the government is directly engaged in a relevant criminal investigation.

The order is a victory for the small businesses, unions, and tax assistance nonprofit that brought the suit.
