Conservative group America First Legal is suing Arizona's Maricopa county for allegedly refusing to remove thousands of illegal immigrants from its voter rolls. The suit challenges the registration of voters who signed up for federal races without providing proof of citizenship and looks to force election officials to take extra steps to verify the citizenship status of about 26,000 voters.
This development comes just weeks after demand letters were sent by the organization to all 15 Arizona counties threatening legal action amidst a crucial voter registration period ahead of the presidential elections.
