VICTORY: A federal court blocked DHS’s attempt to weaponize anti-terrorism funding to make local govs change their election rules. With @brennancenter.org, @publicrightspro.bsky.social, Jacobson Lawyers Group, and county counsel, we sued DHS & FEMA on behalf of 6 counties + cities – and won.

Below, it states that Tennessee, Texas, and Ohio communities won a challenge against federal demands to change election rules. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security logo is accompanied by an image of cash, set against abstract blue and red shapes.“The Trump Administration keeps attempting to abuse the power of the federal government to interfere in elections. And, they keep failing. Today’s ruling is yet another reminder that we have the power to stop them.” Protect Democracy’s Special Counsel & Program Lead for Free and Fair Elections, Jacek Pruski.

Texas’ immigration law is unconstitutional, appeals court rules
The Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruling means that Senate Bill 4, which allows local police to arrest suspected undocumented immigrants, continues to be blocked.
