Today, Advancing Justice – AAJC joined a coalition of civil rights groups in filing a federal lawsuit to stop an unlawful and discriminatory program by USCIS and DHS that targets, investigates, and intimidates naturalized U.S. citizens.
Since August 2026, USCIS has used outdated, error-prone data and questionable methods to investigate foreign-born citizens under the guise of voter eligibility checks. As a result, thousands of naturalized American citizens are being subjected to improper investigations, door-to-door interrogations, and potential disenfranchisement.
Naturalized citizens are U.S. citizens, with exactly the same right to vote as anyone born here.
