In the context of the article, this sounds merely like evidence for the appeals case aiming to overturn the order to block information sharing between the two agencies. So...at best they don't get to continue breaking the law? Which seems appropriate - we can't just shoot everyone in the back who breaks a privacy law 42,695 separate times. It's not like they're teenagers stealing snacks from Walmart.

Are lashes still an option? The ' to big to fail' or 'it's an organization, we can't punish everyone' might be the source of so many of America's problems.

Literally nothing. The DOJ is corrupt. Congress has no spine or teeth. Nothing will change until they all die, or they're all voted out, and maybe not even then.

Probably kidnap some more children and starve them to death in concentration camps, while people argue about procedure on national TV.

Ideally they'd prosecute the lawbreakers, rather than penalise the institution.
But yeah, that would mean upper and upper-middle class people seeing consequences. So probably not.

If an immigrant is paying taxes, then they should be the least of ICE’a concerns.
It is one piece of how we keep social security going. People who pay in and never collect.

They want slaves, not tax payers.
Their goal isn't more money. Their goal is owning literally everything and having ultimate power.

But see, if they're paying taxes, that's how you know they're the WORST of the worst. /s

None of this matters if there's no punishment. I'm certain there will be no punishment.

That's quite a specific number for what she claims is an approximation....

It could just be ones they've found evidence of so far.

So Trump sued for what 10 billion over it when it happened to him?
Looks like 42,695 people should sue for 10 billion each from Trump.

If people are not held accountable for breaking laws, then laws mean nothing.

I thought these stupid asshole fascists always claimed immigrants don't pay any taxes. Why would they go to the IRS for data? /s

Legality during the Trump admin doesn't mean anything anymore it seems.

Go after the low level employees. If "following orders" means spending weeks embroiled in a long, drawn out lawsuit then maybe you'd tell your supervisor to suck a fuck.

Throw them on the bonfire of American democracy with all the rest.
