UGH: Judge Shuts Down Trump Admin Database Used To Remove Non-Citizens From Voter Rolls.

A Biden-appointed federal judge shut down a database used to remove noncitizens from voter rolls Monday.

The 75-page opinion, issued by Sparkle L. Sooknanan, follows a civil action suit against the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Social Security Administration (SSA) and the state of Texas by parties including the League of Women Voters.

The decision set aside a modified version of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system, created following a Trump-signed executive order to “verify the citizenship or immigration status of registered voters or individuals registering to vote,” and put in place by the DHS and SSA.

Sooknanan justified vacating the SAVE system by citing “two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach,” namely the right to privacy and the right to vote.

Every illegal vote effectively disenfranchises a legal voter, but we’re not supposed to look into that, I suppose.

Exit quote: “Sooknanan also blocked the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust probe into Media Matters and barred the executive branch from deporting unaccompanied migrant minors and reunifying them with their families abroad.”
