To Utah’s chief election officer’s surprise, the DOJ says it has been investigating her since 2025
Letters from the U.S. Department of Justice have become a constant in Lt. Gov. Deidre Henderson’s mail. As Utah’s chief election officer, she has refused to release private voter data despite threats of criminal prosecution from the agency, and has been the most vocal top elected official on the issue — until now.Last week, Henderson said in a social media post, the department revealed she was under investigation over her resistance to hand over the information, a notice that came as a surprise for her.

Awful. Just awful. A promising young man, a high school honors grad who joined JROTC and dreamed of becoming a doctor, killed himself because of the Trump admin’s obsession with hurting Haitians and the humiliating shame of an ICE ankle monitor. His blood is on their hands.
A picture of a young black man, dressed in a light blue suit with a smart black bow tie, smiling as he is handed a diploma from a school official, a white man in his 40s-50s who is also smiling. Underneath is the caption “Pierre Damas Bel receives his high school diploma. (Family Photo/Instagram)”Bel arrived in the United States in 2024 in order to reunite with his parents, who had fled Haiti three years before. The family was granted temporary protected status, purchased a home in Springfield and settled into life in the U.S. Bel dreamed of studying medicine and graduated high school last May with honors and as a proud member of the Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps (JROTC), his father said. He was the eldest of three siblings and his family described him as smart and responsible.
