The Supreme Court on September 25 granted a stay, allowing the federal government to resume using a modified program to check voter citizenship.
The per curiam order granted the government’s application for a stay pending appeal.
The modified Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program launched in May 2025.
It allows state and local authorities to verify the citizenship status of registered voters using Social Security Administration records.
A district court had set aside and vacated the modified program.
The Supreme Court found the plaintiff organizations likely have standing but that their claims likely lack merit.
The Court cited 8 U.S.C. §1373, a 1996 law that authorizes DHS to request citizenship information from other agencies.
