We just asked a court, on behalf of the League of Women Voters and others, for emergency relief in a class-action lawsuit challenging the Trump administration’s attempt to purge voter rolls using secret databases.
With elections quickly approaching in states across the country, CREW and our partners filed an emergency motion in court yesterday to stop the unlawful creation of “National Data Banks” that consolidate sensitive, legally protected information on millions of Americans.
This isn't just a privacy violation—it’s a direct threat to our democracy. These illegal databases give the administration the power to target and silence eligible voters, particularly naturalized citizens, based on unreliable information that the government itself admits can’t be trusted.
The court must act immediately to prevent eligible American voters from being disenfranchised in the upcoming elections.
We’re taking action to defend the voting rights of Americans across the country, protect our free and fair elections and hold the Trump administration accountable for its unprecedented abuse of power. If that’s a mission you believe in, donate today to help CREW continue this critical work → [[link removed]]

Trump and his administration have repeatedly mishandled sensitive information and put Americans’ private data at risk. Now, they’re threatening Americans’ civil liberties and voting rights.
Our preliminary injunction details how the so-called “Department of Government Efficiency,” the Department of Homeland Security, Social Security Administration, IRS and other agencies have secretly merged personal data from across the federal government into centralized “Interagency Databases” in direct violation of both the Constitution and the Privacy Act of 1974.
Our complaint alleges that the administration unlawfully transformed the DHS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system into a national citizenship database, pooling Social Security Administration data known to be unreliable, which is now being used by some states to purge voter rolls and initiate criminal investigations.
This pooling of sensitive data threatens to disenfranchise eligible voters, particularly naturalized citizens who are at a higher risk of being purged and subjects Americans to unwarranted investigations. This is a threat to the foundation of our democracy.
The government’s unlawful creation of these secret databases should not be allowed to continue. That’s why CREW is acting quickly to prevent voters from being unlawfully purged from the voter rolls in this fall’s elections.
CREW is on the frontlines of protecting our democracy, defending Americans’ voting rights and holding Trump and his administration accountable. We need your help to continue this fight.
