A federal lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s proposed $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund” has expanded into a more consequential fight.
IRS Employees Face a Legal BindThe complaint argues the Immunity Order would give IRS auditors “unlawful directions to terminate particular taxpayers’ audits.”
At its core, the lawsuit asks the court to “halt and permanently set aside” both the “Anti-Weaponization Fund” and the Immunity Order.
The complaint asks the court to declare that the Immunity Order violates the Constitution and federal law, then “vacate and set aside” the order.
It also asks Brinkema to prohibit federal officials from “enforcing, implementing, maintaining, or giving effect to the Immunity Order.”
