Court Halts DHS Use of Citizenship Database for Voter Roll Purges

A federal judge in Washington D.C. has prevented the Department of Homeland Security from using its citizenship database to remove individuals from voter registration lists. The ruling stated that the Trump administration's executive order to repurpose the SAVE system violated several federal privacy laws, including those related to Social Security numbers and the Privacy Act. This decision represents a setback for the administration's efforts concerning federal elections.
