Federal Election Enforcement, ICE/DHS and Election-Privacy Concerns

A district-court order reportedly bars DOJ and DHS from sending states lists of alleged noncitizen voters after the administration acknowledged errors that falsely flagged citizens. Reuters reports weakened DOJ election safeguards and interventions affecting California ballot handling and Alaska certification; a judge rejected the effort to stop Alaska from declaring a winner. Separately, a federal judge is investigating reports that ICE released and immediately re-detained people in violation of court orders in at least 10 cases in a week; responsibility and consequences remain unresolved.
