American Oversight’s motion to intervene in a lawsuit filed by Centro de Trabajadores Unidos and Immigrant Solidarity DuPage, represented by Public Citizen, against Scott Bessent in his capacity as Secretary of the Treasury to unseal documents related to an agreement between the Internal Revenue Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The motion challenges the court orders that allowed the government to file these documents under seal without adequate justification for withholding these materials from the public. Public Citizen filed the underlying case to prevent the IRS from engaging in the unauthorized disclosure of taxpayer information for immigration enforcement purposes.
