Federal judge halts PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP requirement for voter ID

• U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly blocks key Trump order requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration.
• Ruling calls election integrity measures an overreach of presidential power, escalating judicial vs. executive clashes.
• White House condemns the decision as a “JUDICIAL COUP,” citing rising non-citizen Social Security approvals under Biden.
• Over 2 million non-citizens received federal identification in FY2024, per Trump’s DOGE data leaks at Wisconsin rally.

In a breathtaking power grab that has sent shockwaves across red America, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly has struck down a pivotal component of President Donald Trump’s election security plan, effectively gutting requirements for proof of citizenship in federal voter registration systems. This decision, on the heels of soaring non-citizen Social Security approvals under the Biden regime, has ignited fears of a vote dilution crisis and cemented distrust in a judiciary increasingly seen as weaponized against constitutional integrity. With states now free to ignore citizenship verification—despite rampant fraud allegations—and federal funding conditions jeopardized, this ruling underscores a grim reality: unelected judges are now open adversaries in the fight for honest elections.

The ruling: “judicial coup” or legal overreach?

Judge Kollar-Kotelly’s 120-page opinion, hailed by activist groups but decried by election integrity advocates, argues that mandating citizenship proof violates Congress’s constitutional authority over elections. “The president cannot short-circuit Congress,” she writes, sidestepping the reality that Congress itself has stalled on election reform for years. Her ruling specifically blocks Trump’s mandate for the Election Assistance Commission to withhold funding from non-compliant states—a penalty she declares an “unconstitutional power grab.”

This dismissal of federal oversight arrives as newly exposed data reveals Biden’s administration quietly issued millions of Social Security numbers to non-citizens. At a recent Wisconsin rally, Musk-affiliated DOGE volunteer Antonio Gracias displayed internal records showing a staggering 2.1 million non-citizen approvals in FY 2024 alone, with an additional 1 million in FYs 2023 and 2025. “President Trump’s executive order empowered us to cross-reference databases for the first time,” Gracias told Fox News, “revealing systemic fraud enabled by previous administrations.”

Despite these revelations, Kollar-Kotelly’s ruling permits other elements of Trump’s plan, including tighter mail-in ballot deadlines and cross-agency voter-rolls checks. Critics argue this selective enforcement exposes the judge’s partisan leanings: permitting some oversight while smothering the linchpin requirement of citizenship verification.

The broader battle: When judges pick winners

This case echoes a disturbing pattern of judicial overreach. As anti-Trump activistsyen when it comes to shutting down vaccine passport mandates or shielding illegal alien voting blocs, Kollar-Kotelly’s activism—prohibiting states from safeguarding ballots—exposes a double standard. While courts once enabled Biden’s CDC vaccine mandates that segregated “pure-blooded” Americans from schools and workplaces, judges now wield gavels to sabotage voter ID laws critical to preventing fraud.

The hypocrisy: U.S. District judges stood by idly as the Biden regime installed vaccine passports and identification requirements that segregated healthy, pure-blooded individuals and warriors of conscience from society, but when it comes to requiring proper identification for voting in an election in the United States, these same US District judges are adamant about interfering, making sure that identification, proof of citizenship and voter registration have no rules. These District judges are diluting Americans’ votes and making sure that illegals vote in upcoming elections, unidentified, undocumented, and emboldened in their criminal state. This hypocrisy on behalf of US District Judges, like Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, is appalling and shows that justice is not blind in America in 2025. This District judge is an activist, hellbent on destroying the country, and a judicial coup is underway, as judges take off their masks and expose their allegiance to Democrat ideology over the rule of law.
