Biden-Appointed Judge Blocks Trump’s New Verification System to Remove Foreign Nationals from Voter Rolls

A federal judge, appointed by President Joe Biden, has blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using an updated verification system, known as the SAVE program, to remove foreign nationals from state voter rolls.

On Monday, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, appointed to the United States District Court for the District of Columbia by Biden, issued an order to prevent the Trump administration from using a streamlined version of the federal government’s SAVE program to combat voter fraud.

The update to SAVE allowed states to more quickly verify that only American citizens are voting in federal elections by no longer requiring that all nine digits of a voter registrant’s Social Security Number have to be entered to verify eligibility.

“This case implicates two fundamental rights that protect Americans from government overreach: the right to privacy and the right to vote,” Sooknanan, an immigrant from Trinidad and Tobago, wrote:

In the past year, several federal agencies have joined forces to create a centralized federal database that contains the private information of United States citizens, including Social Security numbers, citizenship status, and other sensitive data. [Emphasis added]

But decades ago, Congress put protections in place to prevent precisely this type of centralized data bank. And the record in this case shows that the federal agencies that created this database knew that the database violates those statutory protections. The agencies were scrambling to comply with an Executive Order aimed at reshaping federal elections, which directed them to create a system for mass voter verification. So they haphazardly combined and repurposed the private information of millions of Americans, including citizenship data that they knew to be unreliable. Since then, states have partnered with the federal government to access the database and are actively removing United States citizens from voter rolls based on inaccurate information. All in all, the federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote. This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens. [Emphasis added]

A U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) spokesman previously told Breitbart News that the updated SAVE program was necessary to ensure “America’s elections are reserved exclusively for American citizens.”

Did You Catch the Moment the NJ Governor’s Presser on Voter Registration Fraud Went Off the Rails?

New Jersey faces a voter fraud issue: Over 6,000 noncitizens were registered to vote through the state’s motor vehicle system, and about 400 of them voted in previous elections. That number is probably higher. This isn’t an isolated case either. The Democrat stance was that this never happens, but now it’s ‘Well, it’s not that many votes.’ 

Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s address on this matter was equally absurd: she claims this happened—doesn’t deny it—but later says that Trump has no credibility on the subject and said he spread conspiracy theories about fraud. Lady, what just happened here? Do you even know? 

Talk about doublespeak in real time. Mikie, you just got owned here; your party has to eat it, and we understand why you’re upset over that; you people are wrong about everything. This is precisely what Trump touched on during his primetime address last week:

New Jersey Joined ERIC System that DOES NOT Report If Person Is a Non-Citizen – Then Illegals Started Voting – 24 States Are NOT Using SAVE System To Verify Illegal Alien Voters!

The recent news of illegal aliens registering in mass in NJ, and then voting, is not a surprise and is almost expected.

New Jersey is one of many States that DO NOT use the free Federal SAVE system to check for illegal aliens in their voter registrations or existing voter rolls.

SAVE is an online service administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) that provides immigration status and U.S. citizenship information. SAVE only returns verification information. The decision to register or remove a voter remains with state or local election officials.

As of June 30th, there are 26 states using SAVE for voter-registration or voter-list-maintenance purposes. It processed 198 million cases in 2025.

The remaining 24 states have no public info that their election authority uses SAVE. Most of these 24 states are left-leaning.

New Jersey joined the non-profit ERIC in August of 2022 to help clean their voter rolls. Secretary of State Tahesha Way said, “ERIC is a powerful step to strengthen New Jersey’s elections by increasing our ability to support eligible voters while also improving the accuracy of our voting rolls.”

Obviously, this isn’t working.

Illegal Alien Defended by Sen. Richard Blumenthal and Far-Left CT Democrats Turns Out REGISTERED TO VOTE in Connecticut — Falsely Claimed U.S. Citizenship

The illegal alien from Montenegro whom Sen. Richard Blumenthal, Rep. John Larson, and other Connecticut Democrats breathlessly defended against ICE has been caught registered to vote in the Nutmeg State, falsely claiming U.S. citizenship on his voter registration form.

Sead “Seyo” Cecunjanin, a West Hartford restaurant and dry-cleaning business owner, was detained by ICE on June 20, 2026, outside a Dunkin’ Donuts on Park Road.

According to the Department of Homeland Security, Cecunjanin is a criminal illegal alien who entered the United States illegally in 1997 using a fraudulent Dutch passport.

An immigration judge issued a final order of removal against him that same year. He has a prior DUI conviction and reportedly left the country in 2024 only to be released back in under the Biden administration despite that longstanding removal order.

But you wouldn’t know any of that from listening to Blumenthal and the Connecticut Democrat machine. They rushed to his defense, organizing press conferences, rallying the community, and painting ICE as the villain for daring to enforce the law against a so-called “law-abiding” pillar of the community.

Blumenthal called the ICE action “overreaching – inhumanely and illegally,” while Larson labeled the arrest “heartbreaking” and bragged about standing up to ICE. They helped secure his release just days later on July 3.

Minnesota Democrat AG Keith Ellison Sparks Alarm as He Apparently Reveals His Party’s Scheme to Steal the Midterm Elections

Crooked Minnesota Democrat Attorney General has gone viral for apparently saying the quiet part out loud regarding the Democrats’ scheme to obtain power at all costs.

While speaking at a rally in Minneapolis on Monday for far-left Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan, who is running for the Senate, Ellison seemed to reveal the Democrats’ game plan to seize the midterms.

Ellison bragged that not only were Democrats going to get every person who was not old enough to vote in 2024, but also those who were not naturalized citizens.

This later admission appears to suggest that he either wants even non-naturalized citizens to vote this time or to grant people citizenship in exchange for votes.

Ellison also bragged that the Democrats would win over every voter who sat out the Presidential election.

Jake Tapper on Discovery of Thousands of Non-Citizen Voters in New Jersey: ‘This is Not Good for Democrats’

As the Gateway Pundit reported earlier today, thousands of non-citizen voters were discovered in New Jersey, allegedly due to a software error.

This is one of those problems that Democrats assure us never happens. It’s one of the main reasons that conservatives want congress to pass the SAVE America Act.

Over on CNN, Jake Tapper responded to the news today by saying that this is ‘not good news for Democrats.’

How about the country, Jake?

This is a window into the minds of people in our media. Note that this is Jake Tapper’s first thought. His first concern is what is or is not good news for Democrats, because that’s who Jake cares about most.

More Evidence for Trump’s ‘Debunked’ 2020 Election Fraud Claims

We have all heard it many times.  According to “journalists,” claims made by President Trump regarding election cheating are “unfounded,” “disproven,” and/or “debunked.” However, irrefutable evidence of large-scale 2020 election fraud exists.

On Thursday night, the president outlined four specific areas of election concern.  I’d like to address one of them: corrupt Michigan voter registrations in the 2020 election.  Trump said, “Even when significant evidence of fraud has been detected, it has been buried and covered up.”

The president is correct: Widespread evidence of Michigan fraud was detected before the 2020 election.  After it was discovered and reviewed by the FBI, it was concealed by the Biden DOJ.  I know this because I read it in numerous confidential DOJ email communications.

The scandal is discovered

Shortly before the 2020 election, a woman walked into a Muskegon County (Mich.) election office and submitted 8 to 10 thousand voter registration applications.  An alert election clerk named Ann Meisch noticed that many of the applications were extremely suspicious, with birth dates, addresses, and signatures that did not match the information on related driver’s licenses.

Meisch and co-workers made a largely unsuccessful effort to verify the information by calling phone numbers on questionable applications.  The matter was then turned over to Muskegon local police and state authorities, including secretary of State Jocelyn Benson and attorney general Dana Nessel.  They briefly investigated the matter before the probe was turned over to the FBI.  It was then squelched by the Biden Department of Justice.

The story went dark for almost three years until the Gateway Pundit (G.P.) published a series of articles based upon state and city police reports.  Here is a short recap of the G.P. reporting, followed by some confidential information that has not been widely reported.

  • The woman who submitted the registration applications has the name Brianna Hawkins and was paid $1,150 per week and given a rental car and a “reloadable pay card.”  Her job was to register voters and help them use the registrations to get ballots.
  • The company she worked for was a Tennessee organization with the name GBI Strategies.  It had numerous branches and activities in many areas of Michigan, and in other locations in the United States.
  • GBI had very close ties to high-ranking Democrats and left-leaning groups.  A police investigation stated or implied that in 2018, GBI was paid $188,000 by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, $1,571,000 by the Doug Jones for Senate Committee, and $657,000 by the left-wing New American Jobs Fund.
  • During their investigation, the police found several “semi-automatic rifles joined with suppressors and optics and customized pistols.”  Why they were there is a mystery.
  • The police also found “dozens of new phones” and hundreds of “prepaid payment cards.”  (Why hundreds?  Were people being paid with the cards if they registered and voted?)
  • GBI employees told police investigators that they never advocated that people vote for Joe Biden or any particular candidate.  However, police saw a script in the GBI office that encouraged people to vote for Joe Biden.
  • City police went door to door to confirm that the registration forms possessed by GBI were fraudulent.
  • Ruth Johnson, a former state senator and former secretary of State, stated, “My estimate is over 800,000 ballot applications were sent to non-qualified voters in Michigan.”

Phony registrations, no ID, and no signature-checking

To fully understand the scale of this corruption, and the significance of the phony registrations, you need to know how easily they can be converted into votes.

  • Although Michigan law required a voter to request a ballot application, Benson ignored the law, and she automatically mailed out 7.7 million ballot applications to everyone who was registered, including 4 million who were not planning to vote absentee and those with the phony registrations obtained by GBI.
  • To get a ballot application, no ID was required.
  • The only voting safeguard in Michigan (a weak one at that) was signature-matching.  However, secretary of State Jocelyn Benson unlawfully told election clerks throughout Michigan to “presume” that signatures matched.  Fortunately, Ann Meisch, the woman who discovered the scandal, ignored Benson’s unlawful instructions.
  • Four months after the election, Benson’s instructions were ruled to be illegal by a state judge.  The mainstream media ignored that ruling.  No appeal was filed by the secretary of State.

The Biden Department of Justice kills the investigation

Before the 2020 election, FBI agents knew that the real number of phony registrations could be several times larger than the 8,000 to 10,000 registrations originally reported.  I have the specific names of those agents but will not report them here.

At least one official reported that the number of phony registrations could change the election results.

Thousands Of Noncitizens Registered To Vote In New Jersey, Governor Admits

New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill said a software error in the state’s Motor Vehicle Commission system resulted in roughly 6,600 people who indicated they were not U.S. citizens being registered to vote between June 2023 and June 2024.

Sherrill said in a statement that the individuals answered “no” when asked on a keypad whether they were U.S. citizens while applying for driver’s licenses or identification cards, but were registered because of a software error.

According to the governor, a preliminary analysis found that fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered because of the error voted. She said those voters were registered as Democrats, Republicans, and unaffiliated voters and were located throughout the state.

The governor said the issue occurred under the previous administration. She said she has directed her chief counsel to investigate what happened and ordered election officials to remove any residents who were erroneously added to the voter rolls during that period.

In a press conference, the governor said the error was fixed in June 2024, but she learned about it recently.

Sherrill also said the Motor Vehicle Commission administrator she appointed has begun replacing the vendor responsible for administering the system.

Sherrill said she was “appalled” by what she described as failures that allowed the error to occur and said those responsible would be held accountable.

She also accused the Trump administration of attempting to “weaponize elections for political gain.”

The White House said in an email to The Epoch Times that the New Jersey error highlights the need to pass the SAVE America Act, which Republicans say is necessary to ensure election integrity.

“Democrats and their media allies have repeatedly said it is impossible for noncitizens to register to vote, let alone cast a ballot. Time and again, they have been proven wrong,” White House Spokeswoman Abigail Jackson stated.

“As President [Donald] Trump has said, there is nothing more important than the integrity of our elections. And this latest incident underscores the absolute necessity of the SAVE America Act. American voters deserve to have confidence that our elections are safe and secure – President Trump will never stop fighting to make that happen and all patriotic Americans should join in his effort.”

The governor said the state would continue taking steps to ensure that only eligible citizens vote and that lawful votes are counted.

DOJ Opens Investigation Into ERIC State New Jersey Over 6,600 Illegal Alien Voter Registration Discrepancy

Earlier today, The Gateway Pundit reported that the governor of New Jersey announced a “serious software error” with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle System that led to the registration of almost 7,000 people “who indicated that they were not U.S. citizens” from June 2023 through June 2024 under the previous administration.

Governor Mikie Sherrill announced that the matter was under investigation and that “fewer than 400 individuals who were newly registered” voted.

Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon of the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division, however, also announced a federal investigation.  In a letter posted to her official X account, AAG Dhillon wrote:

Earlier today you represented that approximately 6,600 people who self-identified as noncitizens between June 2023 and June 2024 were nevertheless registered to vote in New Jersey.  Indeed, approximately 400 of those individuals voted.

Ensuring that U.S. citizens’ votes are not illegally diluted by noncitizens’ votes is of paramount importance.  We therefore write to formally request additional information to asses New Jersey’s compliance with various federal statutes, as provided in our July 7, 2026, letter to the Lieutenant Governor.

MUSKEGON UPDATE: How the Massive Michigan Democratic Voter Registration Fraud Operation Was Ignored, Buried, and Shut Down by Unscrupulous Biden FBI and DOJ Hacks

President Trump brought up the MUSKEGON, MICHIGAN 2020 coordinated election fraud scheme – buried by Biden admin – during his address to the country on Thursday.

This massive ballot registration scandal was first reported by The Gateway Pundit in August 2023 thanks to Michigan activists who tipped us off to this massive voter registration scandal.

The Gateway Pundit showed that a left-wing outfit named GBI Strategies, that was funded by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign, was attempting to fraudulently register up to 10,000 voters in a city with only 30,000 eligible voters.

The report on systemic voter fraud in the 2020 election has never been refuted or debunked; it was simply ignored and suppressed by legacy media. The blithe answer from Michigan’s corrupt far-left Attorney General is that they ‘referred it to the FBI.‘

Yet all the information is there in the Muskegon Police report, as well as another police report from the Michigan State Police, and yet there have been zero prosecutions of those involved.

The Muskegon fraudulent ballot registration case was not in suspended animation, and it certainly didn’t close itself.

It was deliberately buried under layers of AUSAs, FBI supervisors, DOJ Public Integrity Section (PIN) officials, redactions, and bureaucratic fingerprints.
