- 美国联邦地区法官斯帕克·苏克南南推翻特朗普政府对国土安全部SAVE系统的改版
- 投票权组织辩称，各州使用该系统会剥夺美国公民的投票权
- 判决出台之际，特朗普正寻求强化联邦政府在选举中的角色
6月22日（路透社）—— 一名联邦法官周一阻止特朗普政府使用改版后的移民数据库核查州选民名册的准确性，这对美国总统唐纳德·特朗普在11月中期选举前强化联邦政府在选举中角色的努力造成打击。
去年，美国国土安全部对其用于核实个人公民身份和移民身份的系统进行了改版，以使州和地方官员能够更轻松地利用该系统确认选民为美国公民。

在周一公布的一份长达75页的判决书中，位于华盛顿特区的美国联邦地区法官斯帕克·苏克南南支持投票权和隐私维权人士的主张。这些人士认为，这套被称为SAVE的系统改版后准确性下降，有可能剥夺符合资格选民的投票权。
“联邦政府故意践踏美国公民的隐私权利，这种行为威胁到神圣的投票权，”苏克南南写道。她是民主党总统乔·拜登任命的法官。“法院不能对此坐视不管。”
国土安全部以及代表政府出庭的司法部均未立即回应置评请求。
特朗普寻求强化联邦在选举中的角色
特朗普领导的共和党正为在11月3日的中期选举中保住国会两院控制权而展开激烈较量。
在美国，联邦选举由各个州负责管理。特朗普及其盟友长期声称各州在防止选民欺诈方面做得不够，尽管审计和学术研究均表明选民欺诈极为罕见。特朗普还谎称自己在2020年总统选举中失利是因为选举舞弊。
他的政府强化联邦政府对选举控制权的努力大多遭到法院阻挠。
三名联邦法官在多起独立案件中阻止了特朗普2025年发布的行政令，该命令要求选民登记时提供公民身份证明，并限制邮寄选票的计数。
2026年3月发布的一项限制邮寄投票的行政令也引发了法律挑战。联邦法官还驳回了政府针对30个州和哥伦比亚特区拒绝移交完整选民名册而提起的九起诉讼。
批评人士称，共和党此举与其说是出于选举安全担忧，不如说是为了通过缩小选民范围获取政治优势，这可能剥夺符合资格的选民——通常是倾向民主党的选民——的投票权。
数据库改版引发隐私担忧
去年的SAVE系统改版允许用户一次性搜索多条记录，并允许他们获取个人的社会保障号码。
自那以来，多个由共和党领导的州将其选民名单与该数据库进行比对，并取消了被标记为非公民的登记选民的资格。
提起诉讼的倡导组织包括 League of Women Voters（美国妇女选民联盟），这些组织表示，这导致被错误认定为非公民的民众被从选民名册中除名。
投票权维权人士辩称，SAVE系统的数据可能过时，这意味着已入籍、因此有资格投票的移民有时会被贴上非公民的标签。
苏克南南裁定，此次改版还违反了限制联邦政府披露社会保障号码和其他信息的隐私法。

- Summary
- U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan sets aside Trump’s revamp of DHS’s SAVE system
- Voting-rights groups argued states’ use of the system disenfranchised U.S. citizens
- Ruling comes as Trump seeks to boost federal government’s role in elections
June 22 (Reuters) – A federal judge on Monday blocked the Trump administration from using a revamped version of an immigration database for checking the accuracy of state voter rolls, dealing a blow to U.S. President Donald Trump’s efforts to boost the role of the federal government in elections ahead of the midterm elections in November.
Last year, the Department of Homeland Security revamped a system it uses to verify individuals’ citizenship and immigration status to make it easier for state and local officials to use it to make sure voters were U.S. citizens.

In a
75-page decision
on Monday, U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan in Washington, D.C., sided with voting rights and privacy advocates who argued that the overhaul of the system, known as SAVE, made it less accurate and risked disenfranchising eligible voters.
“The federal government has knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote,” wrote Sooknanan, an appointee of Democratic President Joe Biden. “This Court cannot stand idly by while that happens.”
Neither DHS nor the Justice Department, which represents the administration in court, immediately responded to requests for comment.
TRUMP SEEKS TO BOOST FEDERAL ROLE IN ELECTIONS
Trump’s Republicans are locked in a fierce battle to maintain control of both houses of Congress in the November 3 midterm elections.
In the U.S., federal elections are administered by individual states. Trump and his allies have long asserted that states are not doing enough to prevent voter fraud, even though audits and academic studies have found that it is rare. Trump argues, falsely, that his loss in the 2020 presidential election was due to fraud.
His administration’s efforts to boost the federal government’s control over elections have largely been stymied by the courts.
Three federal judges in separate cases have blocked Trump’s 2025 executive order requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and restricting the counting of mail ballots.
A March 2026 executive order restricting mail-in voting has also drawn legal challenges. Federal judges have also rejected nine of the lawsuits the administration has brought against 30 states and the District of Columbia for refusing to hand over their complete voter rolls.
Critics say Republicans are driven less by concerns over election security than by an effort to gain political advantage by narrowing the electorate, risking the disenfranchisement of eligible, often Democratic-leaning voters.
DATABASE REVAMP RAISES PRIVACY CONCERNS
Last year’s SAVE revamp allowed users to search many records at a time and gave them access to individuals’ Social Security numbers.
Since then, several Republican-led states have compared their voter lists to the database and cancelled the registrations of registered voters flagged as noncitizens.
The advocacy groups who brought the lawsuit, including the League of Women Voters, said that has resulted in people who were wrongfully identified as noncitizens being kicked off voter rolls.
Voting-rights advocates argue that SAVE can be outdated, meaning immigrants who have been naturalized and are thus eligible to vote are sometimes labeled as noncitizens.
Sooknanan ruled that the revamp also violated privacy laws restricting the federal government’s disclosure of Social Security numbers and other information.
