DOJ's Controversial Non-Citizens List: US-Born Citizens Wrongly Targeted?
Los Angeles officials raise alarm over DOJ's non-citizens list, highlighting that many flagged may be U.S. born. Accountability is urgently needed.
DOJ's Controversial Non-Citizens List: US-Born Citizens Wrongly Targeted?
In a shocking development, Los Angeles election officials revealed that the Department of Justice's (DOJ) list of 20,000 suspected non-citizens includes a "high percentage" of individuals born in the United States. This alarming assertion, made in recent court documents, casts serious doubt on the reliability of the DOJ's claims and prompts critical questions about the government's handling of voter eligibility.
The DOJ sent this contentious list to election officials in Los Angeles and the California Secretary of State, demanding they segregate ballots from anyone identified unless their citizenship could be verified within a mere 48 hours. In a bold stance for voter rights, California election officials refused to comply, leading the DOJ to file a lawsuit against them.
As reported by The Guardian, this situation raises pressing concerns about the potential disenfranchisement of U.S. citizens based on erroneous information. Citizens have a right to demand accountability and clarity from government officials regarding the accuracy of such lists and the implications for their voting rights.
