Will Supreme Court Ruling Make It Harder for Noncitizens to Vote? https://www.dailysignal.com/2026/08/25/will-supreme-court-ruling-make-it-harder-for-noncitizens-to-vote/ The Supreme Court’s Monday decision cleared the way for the Department of Homeland Security to establish a state-by-state list of eligible voters based on a crosscheck of citizenship data, the Social Security database, and other government information. “The DHS can determine who is eligible to vote because the federal government does not want to be complicit in fraud through sending mail-in ballots to noncitizens,” Jason Snead, executive director of the Honest Elections Project, told the Daily Signal. “So it makes sense as to why the administration would want to prioritize this.” The list would be shared with states, but states are not obligated to use the list to police voter rolls.

A federal judge just cleared the way for the Trump administration to end deportation protections for Ethiopian migrants. The Boston judge lifted a hold on the decades-old Temporary Protected Status program after DHS determined conditions in Ethiopia had improved enough to end the protections. The ruling means Ethiopian nationals covered by TPS could now lose their ability to legally live and work in the U.S. It’s also the latest win for the administration’s TPS rollback after the Supreme Court allowed similar moves involving Haiti and Syria
