A federal judge on Wednesday permanently banned Trump from implementing his executive order that required proof of citizenship when they register to vote.
Boston-based US District Judge Denise Casper, an Obama appointee, said the Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”
The DOJ will immediately appeal.
“A federal judge on Wednesday permanently barred President Donald Trump’s administration from implementing most of his first executive order on elections, part of which sought to require people to show documentary proof of citizenship when they register to vote. The judge agreed that the Constitution gives states and Congress the authority to regulate elections, and that Trump’s requirements violated the separation of powers,” the Associated Press reported.
In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.
“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order said.
“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” the executive order said.
“Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections,” Trump said.
This is why President Trump has repeatedly called on the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act which would require a valid ID before registering to vote in a federal election, proof of citizenship and no mail-in ballots.
The SAVE America Act is currently stalled in the Senate.
President Trump on Wednesday appeared on Capitol Hill to attend a Senate lunch to discuss the SAVE America Act.

Afraid they might check Obama ,LOL
When are the SC justices going to try these traitorous federal judges?
This will not stand
I’ve got news for you sweetheart - the Constitution didn’t give the Courts any powers over elections, either, but that doesn’t seem to stop any of you, does it?
Thank you Sen, Thune!! You gigantic DB!!
That is why you have to pass the SAVE ACT
No jurisdiction over the whole country AGAIN!!! When will the Trump DOJ stand up to these kangaroo courts trying to rule the entire nation??????????? Just say NO!
“We are a nation of laws, not men.” John Adams.
Or womyn in this case.
So people from other countries can register to vote in our elections?
shocking on the one hand, but almost expected on the other
disenfranchisement of American citizens is far, far along in states like NY, Maine, Illinois, California, Alaska, New Mexico, Michigan, Wisconsin, Arizona...
plenty of states under pretty strong, firm entrenched DNC control
SAVE Act?
The article notes the judge's ruling is 'permanent' and notes the DOJ will appeal. I asked Grok how 'permanent' this is and to identify likely next steps.
The “permanent” label means this is a final district-court victory for the plaintiffs blocking the EO’s key provisions right now. However, it is not the end of the road — appeals + legislation (SAVE America Act) are the real battlegrounds. Courts have generally upheld properly enacted voter ID and citizenship requirements when done by states or Congress, but they are skeptical of broad presidential executive orders in this area.
Permanent...hahahaha
Permanently, until promptly overruled.
Proof of citizenship requirement to vote is a must if this counrty is stay alive.
Openly traitorous judges.
Perfect!! Someone thank this Judge. RINO’s being made to look instantly feckless in the day Trump called them out for this very thing is awesome.
Ignore the judge
“... the Constitution “does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”
I can see where this may be a stickey point. The C does say powers not specifically assigned to the FedGov remain powers of the states. I have an idea ...
States that do not enforce only USA citizen voting requirements will have their Congressional delegations count as 3/5 of a delegation. If CA sends 50 folks to Congress and all vote en banc, their total vote count will be set at 30.
3/5ths ... has a familiar ring to it ...
On another note, this Judge’s order has effect only on her jurisdiction. She has ZERO power to make this nationwide.
