Claim Details

The Supreme Court authorized the Trump administration to use a federal immigration database (SAVE) for voter purges, overturning a lower court's injunction. Critics argue the system is flawed, disproportionately flagging naturalized citizens, and violates privacy laws.

A court filing reveals the Trump administration's plan to use State Department passport data to verify voter eligibility, as part of its ongoing effort to identify noncitizen voters. This move is seen as a continuation of anti-voting measures that could intimidate certain communities.

A Justice Department attorney provocatively challenged a federal judge to issue an injunction against the release of state citizenship lists, which are seen as a voter suppression tool. This incident highlights a pattern of the Trump administration's DOJ showing disrespect for judicial authority and a lack of transparency in election-related litigation.

The Trump administration's Department of Justice announced it will use passport records to check voter registration for noncitizens, expanding federal control over elections. This comes amidst a lawsuit against the DOJ for delaying information on potential election material seizures and ongoing battles over Missouri's gerrymandered map.
