The Supreme Court on Friday cleared the way for states to use an expanded federal citizenship database to review voter rolls, handing President Donald Trump a significant victory in his administration's push to identify noncitizens who may be registered to vote ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
In an unsigned 6-3 emergency ruling, the court lifted a lower-court order that had blocked the Trump administration's expanded use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, known as SAVE. The three liberal justices, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, and Ketanji Brown Jackson, dissented.
