Department of Homeland Security v. League of Women Voters · ¶46

In response to all this, the per curiam just insists that its interpretation is required by another provision of IIRIRA: §1373(c). Ante, at 5.

But it does not empower SSA (or any other non-DHS agency) to do anything, let alone share information that other laws make confidential. And even as to DHS, §1373(c) does not contain the “clearly expressed congressional intention” necessary to displace other laws restricting disclosures. Epic Systems Corp. v. Lewis, 584 U. S. 497, 510 (2018) (internal quotation marks omitted). In fact, just the opposite, insofar as that provision only authorizes disclosures “for . . . purpose[s] authorized by law.” §1373(c).
