Trump admin live updates: Judge blocks IRS sharing taxpayer data with ICE

President Donald Trump said Democratic lawmakers who made a video urging military members to refuse illegal orders should be in jail.

"THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK," Trump posted on his social media platform on Saturday night.

Democrats, who released a joint video in which they said that U.S. service members could refuse illegal orders, defended their message saying they were standing up for the Constitution.

While the president has suggested this behavior by Democrats may be subject to punishments up to the death penalty, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said it may be "punishable by law" during a press briefing earlier this week.

"These three members of Congress, I will also add, knew exactly what they were doing," she said. "to signal to people serving under this commander in chief, Donald Trump, that you can defy him and you can betray your oath of office, that is a very, very dangerous message. And it perhaps is punishable by law. I'm not a lawyer. I'll leave that to the Department of Justice and the Department of War to decide."

"IT WAS SEDITION AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL, AND SEDITION IS A MAJOR CRIME," Trump said in the post Saturday. "THERE CAN BE NO OTHER INTERPRETATION OF WHAT THEY SAID!"

A federal judge on Friday prohibited the IRS from sharing sensitive taxpayer data with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement to aid its nationwide immigration crackdown.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly issued an injunction that bars the IRS from passing along the sensitive information -- including home addresses -- to aid in civil immigration enforcement, concluding the policy was arbitrary and violates a law that protects taxpayer confidentiality.

“Plaintiffs’ members face an imminent risk that the confidential address information they have provided to the IRS will be impermissibly used by ICE for civil immigration enforcement,” Judge Kollar-Kotelly wrote.

A coalition of small businesses and unions sued to stop the controversial policy, which marked a significant departure from the IRS’s earlier approach of strict confidentiality. In April, the IRS agreed to begin sharing confidential information about taxpayer’s addresses, and by August, the IRS disclosed information about approximately 47,000 taxpayers.

The judge's order expands on an earlier decision that temporarily blocked the sharing of taxpayer data.

President Donald Trump, taking reporter questions in the Oval Office on Friday, spoke about the 28-point peace proposal his administration has drafted to bring an the Russia-Ukraine war.

The plan was presented to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskky on Thursday, a U.S. official said.
"He'll have to like it. And if he doesn't like it, then, you know, they should just keep fighting, I guess," Trump said of Zelenskyy and the plan.

"We think we have a way of getting peace. He's going to have to approve it," Trump said.

President Donald Trump congratulated New York City Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani as they met at the White House on Friday.

"We've just had a great meeting. A really good, very productive meeting. We have one thing in common. We want this city of ours that we love to do very well. And I wanted to congratulate the mayor," Trump said, adding Mamdani ran an "incredible race."

"The better he does, the happier I am," Trump added.

Mamdani also described the meeting as productive, and said their main focus was affordability.

"We spoke about rent. We spoke about groceries, we spoke about utilities. We spoke about the different ways in which people are being pushed out. And I appreciated the time with the president. I appreciated the conversation," Mamdani said.
