A federal judge on Friday permanently blocked key parts of President Trump’s executive order requiring proof of citizenship to vote or register to vote.
US District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly permanently enjoined President Trump’s executive order.
Last March President Trump signed an executive order Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections:
It is the policy of my Administration to enforce Federal law and to protect the integrity of our election process.
Sec. 2. Enforcing the Citizenship Requirement for Federal Elections. To enforce the Federal prohibition on foreign nationals voting in Federal elections:
(a)(i) Within 30 days of the date of this order, the Election Assistance Commission shall take appropriate action to require, in its national mail voter registration form issued under 52 U.S.C. 20508:
(A) documentary proof of United States citizenship, consistent with 52 U.S.C. 20508(b)(3); and
(B) a State or local official to record on the form the type of document that the applicant presented as documentary proof of United States citizenship, including the date of the document’s issuance, the date of the document’s expiration (if any), the office that issued the document, and any unique identification number associated with the document as required by the criteria in 52 U.S.C. 21083(a)(5)(A), while taking appropriate measures to ensure information security.
(ii) For purposes of subsection (a) of this section, “documentary proof of United States citizenship” shall include a copy of:
(A) a United States passport;
(B) an identification document compliant with the requirements of the REAL ID Act of 2005 (Public Law 109-13, Div. B) that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States;
(C) an official military identification card that indicates the applicant is a citizen of the United States; or
(D) a valid Federal or State government-issued photo identification if such identification indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship.
(b) To identify unqualified voters registered in the States:
(i) the Secretary of Homeland Security shall, consistent with applicable law, ensure that State and local officials have, without the requirement of the payment of a fee, access to appropriate systems for verifying the citizenship or immigration status of individuals registering to vote or who are already registered;
Kollar-Kotelly sided with far-left Democratic groups that sued the Trump administration for having the audacity to demand that voters in US elections are actually US citizens.
The judge said Trump’s executive order violates the Constitution’s separation of powers.
The Trump Administration is expected to appeal the judge’s ruling.

In 2024, this wicked judge sent an elderly pro-Life protester to prison for two years for peacefully protesting outside an abortion center.
Paulette Harlow, who is now 76 years old, participated in a peaceful protest at an abortion clinic in 2020 and didn’t hurt anyone.
Judge Kollar-Kotelly taunted the poor woman in the courtroom and mocked her for her Christian faith.
