Past efforts by states to purge noncitizens from voter rolls have sometimes swept up eligible U.S. citizens."The executive order also seeks to stop states from counting mail or absentee ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after by withholding funding from states that allow such ballots to be counted."Proof of citizenship requirement"Ahead of the 2024 election, Trump and his allies made baseless claims about the threat of noncitizens voting in large numbers."The current federal voter registration form asks registrants to swear, under penalty of perjury, that they are U.S. citizens and eligible to vote, and to provide a driver's license number, state ID number or Social Security number. Those who attempt to vote illegally can face prison time, fines or deportation. Past audits and studies have shown such cases are incredibly rare."Yet Republicans have made requiring documentary proof of citizenship a policy priority. The executive order borrows heavily from the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, known as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SAVEAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SAVEAct</a>, a Republican-backed bill. House Republicans have signaled that they intend to pass it in their chamber but it faces difficult odds in the Senate."The executive order shows <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> isn't waiting for Congress. But legal experts say that he does not have the authority through <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExecutiveOrder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExecutiveOrder</a> to make such changes, and the order conflicts with existing <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FederalVotingLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FederalVotingLaw</a>."'It's illegal at many different levels,' said Sean Morales-Doyle, the voting rights director at the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BrennanCenter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BrennanCenter</a> for Justice, a nonprofit that studies and advocates for voting rights. The order directs the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ElectionAssistanceCommission" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ElectionAssistanceCommission</a>, a small, independent bipartisan agency, to make various changes, including to the federal <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/VoterRegistration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#VoterRegistration</a> form, but Morales-Doyle said the president can't tell that commission what to do."Requiring documentary proof of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/citizenship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#citizenship</a> would radically upend voter registration if such a mandate were to take effect."The order is explicit that applies to anyone who uses the federal voter registration form. What is less clear is if the order would also pressure states to require showing proof of citizenship with state registration forms, such as by <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WithholdingFunds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WithholdingFunds</a>."The order only lists a limited number of ways to prove U.S. citizenship. The options given are a U.S. passport, an ID that complies with the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RealIDAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RealIDAct</a> that shows citizenship or a military ID that shows citizenship. A fourth option is a valid government photo ID that 'indicates that the applicant is a United States citizen or if such identification is otherwise accompanied by proof of United States citizenship,' but does not say if a birth certificate would count."

According to multiple independent Russian media outlets and the scientist’s friends, she now faces possible deportation to Russia, where she could be subject to political persecution over her anti-war stance."The news of her detention was shared on Facebook by her friend and colleague Cora Anderson. Friends of the scientist also launched a GoFundMe campaign, which has already raised over $14,000 to support her legal and living expenses. '<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Kseniia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kseniia</a> is in danger,' a person familiar with the case told the Telegram channel Mozhem Obyasnit’ (lit. “We Can Explain”)."Kseniia, a Russian bioinformatics researcher, arrived in Boston from the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RepublicOfGeorgia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RepublicOfGeorgia</a> in the spring of 2023 to work at Harvard Medical School. She had been compelled to leave Russia due to her outspoken anti-war stance, which could have led to criminal charges back home. While her surname was not disclosed in the original posts, Mozhem Obyasnit’ was able to locate her Facebook page, suggesting her name is Kseniya (Kseniia) Petrova, a graduate of MIPT (Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology). Her page includes multiple posts criticizing the Russian government and denouncing the invasion of Ukraine. Petrova's page on Linkedin listed her as an associate researcher at Harvard Medical School working in Dr. Marc Kirschner's lab in the Department of Systems Biology."On Feb. 16, after returning from a trip to France, she was detained at Boston Logan International Airport, where her visa was revoked. When Kseniia stated that she feared persecution if she were to return to Russia, she was transferred to immigration detention, first in Vermont, then in Louisiana. She is now being held in an ICE detention facility, in a room shared with 80 other women. The exact reason for the cancellation of her visa has not been disclosed by her friends."Read more: <a href="https://theins.ru/en/news/280037" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://theins.ru/en/news/280037</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Resistance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Resistance</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistAuthoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResistAuthoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ResistDOGE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ResistDOGE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsABully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpIsABully</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsPutinsPuppet" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpIsPutinsPuppet</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeUkraine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeUkraine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreePalestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreePalestine</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FuckOligarchs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FuckOligarchs</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorldPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WorldPol</a>
