## Supreme Court order
The Supreme Court temporarily restored Trump’s expanded voter citizenship verification system ahead of November elections.
## SAVE system explained
SAVE, a federal program checking immigration and citizenship records, was expanded in 2025 to include Social Security data.
## Texas supports expansion
Texas used SAVE to compare voter rolls with federal citizenship records and referred potential noncitizen matches for verification.
## Legal challenge blocked
A federal district court previously blocked the expanded SAVE system on June 22, but the Supreme Court paused that ruling.
## Court’s reasoning
The Court ruled federal law authorizes DHS to share citizenship information with state officials for voter verification checks.
## Justice Jackson’s dissent
Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson warned outdated citizenship records could force naturalized citizens to reprove their status or risk losing registrations.
## Key takeaway

Trump’s administration can temporarily resume using federal voter verification system to check citizenship
