DEEP STATE JUDGE Blocks Trump's Common-Sense Citizenship Verification for Voters

The swamp strikes back. Just 10 days into President Trump's second term, a federal judge has already moved to sabotage his America First agenda by blocking common-sense measures to ensure only American citizens can vote in American elections.

U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly—an Obama-era holdover—ruled Friday that Trump's executive order requiring citizenship verification for voter registration "overstepped constitutional authority." Translation: She thinks foreign nationals have more rights than American taxpayers who demand election integrity.

This is exactly the kind of judicial activism that Patriots voted against in November. While President Trump works tirelessly to secure our elections and restore faith in our democratic process, unelected judges appointed by failed Democrat presidents are throwing roadblocks at every turn.

The Administrative State Fights Back

Let's be crystal clear about what's happening here. This isn't about constitutional authority—it's about the Deep State protecting the very election vulnerabilities that Democrats have exploited for years. Why else would anyone oppose verifying that voters are actually American citizens?

Judge Kollar-Kotelly's ruling comes as no surprise to anyone who's been paying attention. The same judicial activists who rubber-stamped every unconstitutional Biden executive order for four years are suddenly concerned about "overreach" when Trump tries to protect election integrity.

This is the same playbook they used during Trump's first term: tie up his agenda in courts with activist judges while the mainstream media cheers from the sidelines.

Patriots Won't Be Silenced

But here's what the swamp doesn't understand: We the People aren't backing down. We gave President Trump a mandate in November precisely because we're sick of judges legislating from the bench and bureaucrats undermining our constitutional republic.

Every American should be asking themselves: Why are Democrats and their judicial allies so afraid of verifying citizenship for voting? What are they trying to hide?

President Trump didn't back down during his first term, and he won't back down now. This fight is just getting started, and Patriots across America are watching.

Another activist judge legislating from the bench instead of following the Constitution.

Exactly. Where in the Constitution does it say non-citizens have the right to vote in our elections?

I have to show ID to buy alcohol, get on a plane, even pick up my prescription. But verifying citizenship to vote is somehow unreasonable? Make it make sense.

Absolutely ridiculous! Why would any honest judge block something as basic as verifying citizenship for voting? This should be common sense, not controversial.

Because they know they can't win without illegal votes. It's that simple.

I served this country for 20 years and it breaks my heart to see our election integrity under attack like this. Every illegal vote cancels out a legal citizen's voice.

What's the legal reasoning behind this decision? I'd like to understand what grounds the judge used to justify blocking this.
