⚠️Department of Injustice
Lawsuits are still in preliminary stages,
and it’s not yet clear how courtroom battles might play out.
(For what it’s worth, the Trump administration continues to prove as incompetent as it is malevolent;
evidently, its lawsuits have been misfiled and bungled at every turn.)
In the meantime, Democratic state officials in states that have been sued by the DOJ
have replied with a strongly worded letter requesting more information.
This might sound a bit limp as far as resistance goes,
but it does signify the widespread state refusals that have been vocally backed by lawmakers;
The 10 secretaries of state who signed the joint letter also used it to criticize contradictory statements by the Trump DOJ and DHS.
(And even some red states have so far refused to share data.)
Anticipating worse still to come,
"All Voting" is working nationwide to educate the public about the administration’s real intentions
and assert the facts of these complex situations.
“A lot of this administration’s work is to confuse us,” Ashiya Brown noted.
The organization is also taking proactive measures to aid communities in real, meaningful ways;
For instance, Brown cited a direct-aid campaign in the Detroit area
that covered costs for locals’ ID renewals and replacements,
in the event that strict proof-of-citizenship laws do arrive.
“This abuse of power from the current administration is another example of their election lies
and the ways that they undermine trust in the voting process,”
Brown said.
“It puts Americans’ privacy at risk
— it is another overstep from an administration that we’ve seen overstep a lot.”
“They’re overstepping their authority without being clear about their plans.
But their plans are already in a book,
and it’s called Project 2025,”
she said with a bitter laugh.
“We cannot allow it …
We all need to keep this in mind.
We’re trying to ring the alarm and let people know how their voices can be heard.”
