EPIC and LULAC seek TRO to block DHS/DOJ voter data transmission policy

O que aconteceu

EPIC and the League of United Latin American Citizens filed a motion for a temporary restraining order on October 29, 2026, to stop DHS and DOJ from sending lists of "likely noncitizen" voters to state and local election officials. The plaintiffs argue the policy lacks statutory authority and threatens privacy and voting rights.

Por que isso importa para confiança e conformidade

• Its status is filed. The case is still open; the outcome may change what it means.
• The filing challenges a federal program that shares voter data with states, raising privacy and civil‑rights concerns ahead of the election.
