Judge restricts Trump administration's noncitizen voting probes

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A federal judge has restricted the Trump administration's efforts to investigate suspected noncitizen voting in nine states. The ruling, issued by District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín, blocks election-related field operations and interviews that could involve U.S. citizens, citing concerns that the agency's tactics might intimidate eligible voters. This decision curtails a significant part of the administration's initiative to investigate noncitizen voting ahead of the midterm elections. AI
