NewzA federal judge has issued an order restricting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) field operations aimed at identifying noncitizens who may have cast ballots in elections. The ruling follows judicial findings that the department's investigative activities likely violated the Voting Rights Act.
The court determined that the scope and nature of these field operations constituted a form of voter intimidation prohibited by federal law. The decision places legal constraints on how the agency conducts future efforts to verify the citizenship status of voters.
