Judge blocks additional citizenship provisions in latest setback to Trump's election executive order
A federal judge has blocked certain federal agencies from requesting citizenship status when distributing voter registration forms. The ruling Friday is the latest blow to a wide-ranging executive order on elections President Donald Trump signed last year. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly ruled that the Constitution’s separation of powers, giving states and to an extent Congress authority over election rules, lay at the heart of the case. The ruling said agencies will not be allowed to “assess citizenship” before providing a federal voter registration form to people enrolling in public assistance programs. It also barred the Secretary of Defense from requiring documentary proof of citizenship when military personnel register to vote or request ballots.
