Blistering new ruling finds Trump's agencies 'knowingly trampled' on a sacred right

A federal judge on Monday struck down the Trump administration's revamped voter-citizenship database, ruling that federal agencies broke the law by building a centralized system that swept up the private data of millions of Americans and wrongly flagged U.S. citizens as non-citizens.In a sharply worded opinion, U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan vacated the 2025 overhaul of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements, or SAVE, system, along with two related privacy notices issued by the Department of Homeland Security and the Social Security Administration. She found the changes violated the Social Security Act, the Privacy Act, and the Administrative Procedure Act."[T]he federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote," Sooknanan wrote. "This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens."The overhaul followed President Donald Trump's March 2025 executive order on elections that expanded SAVE to include records of natural-born citizens, tap Social Security data including SSNs, as well as let states run their entire voter rolls through the system in bulk.The judge, an appointee of President Joe Biden, noted internal records showed the agencies knew the database was "not in compliance" with the Privacy Act and that accuracy shortfalls "could cause incomplete or false results." Naturalized citizens with outdated Social Security files were among those wrongly flagged as non-citizens, with some forced to prove citizenship within 30 days or lose their registrations. An investigation in one Texas county found a quarter of the system's "non-citizen matches" were people who had already proven citizenship, the court filing detailed.The case, brought by the League of Women Voters and the Electronic Privacy Information Center, follows months of warnings about the error-prone system, which even several red states refused to feed their voter data.

Stephen Miller fumes over Trump's stinging new defeats in court

Stephen Miller, one of President Donald Trump's top White House aides, melted down on Monday after the administration suffered a series of stinging defeats. On Monday, a federal judge in Washington, D.C. ruled that the Trump administration's Department of Homeland Security had illegally created a new voter verification database using the private information of millions of Americans to facilitate voter surveillance. Another federal judge in Minnesota squashed the Trump administration's efforts to investigate Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, a Democrat, and several top state officials over social benefits fraud. The Minnesota judge found that the investigation arose in retaliation for the officials not going along with the Trump administration's immigration enforcement agenda. "A huge amount of the 'system' is just entrenched power constantly vying to make America a refugee dumping ground at any cost," Miller wrote on X in response to a post about the ruling in Minnesota. The Trump administration has sought to use the Department of Justice to exact revenge against its perceived enemies. For instance, the DOJ has launched investigations into former FBI Director James Comey for allegedly lying to Congress. Comey led the Crossfire Hurricane investigation into the ties between Trump's 2016 campaign and the Russian government. Multiple other officials who have investigated Trump or resisted his demands have also been investigated. Miller raged that rulings like the one issued in Washington, D.C., by Judge Sparkle Sooknanan seem to betray the Founders' intent, in his eyes. "Judge Sparkle decrees that America belongs to any random alien on planet earth, just like our founders intended," Miller posted on X.
