Running interference for the election fraud industrial complex.

A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from implementing a voter-screening database that combined citizenship records with Social Security information. The ruling argued the effort violated federal privacy protections and resulted in inaccurate information being shared with states.
In a 75-page decision, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan halted the administration’s revised SAVE database, a system developed by the Department of Homeland Security as part of an effort to strengthen election integrity and identify non-citizens on voter rolls.
“The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote,” Sooknanan wrote. “This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.”
The lawsuit was brought by the progressive League of Women Voters and other left-wing advocacy organizations, which argued that the administration unlawfully consolidated sensitive personal information and distributed inaccurate data to states.
According to the ruling, the updated SAVE system combined citizenship records with information from the Social Security Administration, creating a database that Sooknanan concluded Congress had not authorized.
The judge said states were granted access to the system despite concerns about the reliability of the information it contained.
“Since then, states have run their voter rolls through the modified SAVE system, and some of the Plaintiffs’ members have been wrongfully identified as non-citizens by SAVE, resulting in the cancellation of their voter registrations,” Sooknanan wrote.
The ruling immediately stops implementation of the revised system, which had become a central component of the administration’s election-security and immigration enforcement agenda.
Sooknanan concluded that the program violated protections contained in both the Social Security Act and the Privacy Act. The judge also criticized the administration’s handling of inaccurate records, writing that efforts to minimize the consequences of erroneous citizenship designations “border on the absurd.”
The decision is expected to be appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.

Judge Sparkle?
Is she a little pony?
I guess Boasberg ran out of bile. He needs to resupply.
AI: "Sooknanan Surname Meaning--Indian: from a Hindi and Sanskrit personal name Sukhanand meaning 'happiness and bliss'."
Sparkle, happinesss, and bliss: the three main requirements for a judge of the law in a constitutional republic. God help us.
Foreign born protecting Illegals , probably again some law
How did we get to a point in this country where we have judges named “Sparkle Sooknanan”.
Sparkle Farkle was a member of the Farkle family on 70’s-80’s Saturday night live.
Yet another foreign skank sticking it to Americans. The ho needs to be in jail. Sparkle my arse.
The real issue here is that the only mechanism to hold federal judges accountable is impeachment, and that is applied so rarely that it’s not credible. The US is saddled with a legion of left-wing federal judges appointed by every left-wing president who ever gets elected (along with some appointed by boobs like George W), and they regularly intrude on the powers of the Executive Branch.
born: Sparkle Leah Sooknanan, San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago
did she ever become a US citizen?
I’m getting so tired of our socalled “judiciary” being loaded with these foreign hos and skanks. Time to defund and do away with the socalled Dipsh*t Courts and their Judgette Pineapples in Black Robes. Another Caribbeaner pretending to be an American.
This 'judge' is a complete idiot.
...writing that efforts to minimize the consequences of erroneous banking information “border on the absurd.”
Fill in the blanks for more opinions.
Judge Sooknanan was born in San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago, to parents of Indian descent.
A career leftist appointed by senile Joe Biden.
Hell ,she is probably an illegal.
The next question is how those people affected by the bad data cure any issue? No mention if they can or cannot re-register by presenting proof of citizenship. No mention if they can correct the record with the Department of Homeland Security.
Are these omissions part of the ruling, or of the reporting?
As a judicial nominee, Sooknanan was so bad that she barely made it through the US Senate. 11-10 vote from the Judiciary Committee and 50-48 confirmation vote from the entire Senate.
She has no such authority. Trump’s action was a purely executive function.
Problem is, the Administration always seems accept these decisions until it is appealed instead of exerting their executive branch rights.
The DemS always had their own DOJ issue an opinion in ther favor which gave them cover for ignoring such rulings against them.
Time to start using their own playbook against them.
