DHS asks Supreme Court to reinstate overhauled immigration tool for midterms
The administration says the revamped system has cleared more than 65 million voters and flagged 28,635 potential noncitizens, officials said.
- On Tuesday, President Donald Trump's administration asked the Supreme Court to reinstate the Systematic Alien Verification program for sweeping reviews of state voter rolls ahead of November's midterm elections.
- Justice Department lawyers filed the request to challenge a June ruling by U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, who blocked the program after finding it violated privacy law and contained unreliable citizenship data.
- Solicitor General John Sauer argued in the filing that the lower court's order is "indefensible" and "threatens the integrity of upcoming elections," defending the program's use of Social Security records and bulk voter list uploads.
- Critics warn the program produces inaccurate results, citing Texas' experience last year where citizens were wrongly purged; the DOJ maintains the federal government is not responsible for wrongful removals, placing onus on states.
- Trump has made SAVE a central tool in efforts to find non-citizen voting, though studies show such occurrences are rare; many Republican-led states seek to use the system despite reports that initial findings were inflated.
