A federal judge on Thursday blocked part of Trump’s executive order requiring documentary proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections. Trump’s order was issued in an attempt to circumvent Congress; earlier this month, the Republican-led House passed the measure as part of a voter suppression bill known as the SAVE Act, but Senate Democrats vowed to block the bill through a filibuster. In a statement, the ACLU said, “This executive order is part of a broader attack on our democratic elections by promoting baseless nativist conspiracy theories. Today, the court blocked a key strategy of this attack.”
