Summary
A federal judge slammed the Trump administration for illegally altering the SAVE program to hunt for noncitizen voters, declaring it violated privacy rights and threatened voting access. Originally designed to verify immigrant eligibility for benefits, the system was repurposed to cross-check millions of names against state voter rolls — including sensitive data like Social Security numbers — sparking lawsuits from 30 states and civil rights groups. The judge, appointed by Biden, called the move a blatant trampling of privacy laws and election integrity rules, blocking the administration’s push to restrict mail-in ballots ahead of the midterms. With a 90-day deadline looming, the ruling could derail election plans and is hailed by voting rights advocates as a major win for democracy.
