IRS sidelines dozens of top IT officials over potential blocking of immigration data-sharing plans

The IRS has put dozens of top IT officials on administrative leave amid reports they may be blocking data sharing related to immigration enforcement. The move is seen as a response to President Trump's efforts to share information between agencies on immigration enforcement. Senior cybersecurity experts are among those affected by the action, which is part of a broader effort to limit access to sensitive data. The reasons behind the move remain unclear.
