Judge bars Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote

U.S. District Judge Denise Casper, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, issued a permanent injunction on Wednesday. This ruling bars the Trump administration from requiring proof of citizenship for individuals registering to vote. The decision blocks a March 2025 executive order issued by President Donald Trump. This legal outcome represents the latest setback for the president's election policies in recent months, preventing the implementation of the citizenship requirement for voter registration across the country.
