Federal judge bars Trump from implementing proof of citizenship requirement to vote
· KRGV (NBC 5)
A federal judge has permanently blocked President Trump's attempt to require proof of citizenship for voter registration. U.S. District Court Judge Denise Casper ruled that Trump's executive order violated the Constitution's separation of powers, affirming that states and Congress regulate elections. This ruling follows a previous injunction that temporarily halted Trump's election changes. The order would have mandated documentary proof of citizenship, restricted mail-in ballots, and penalized non-compliant states. Attorney General Letitia James praised the decision, emphasizing the importance of protecting voting rights. Trump is now advocating for legislation to implement his citizenship requirement, which has faced obstacles in Congress.
