The ruling raised concerns that babies already defined as citizens by the Supreme Court could have their citizenship revoked under an order the president signed in August.
The administration asked the court to clear the way for President Trump’s order that creates “state citizenship lists” and directs the Postal Service to decide who gets a mail-in ballot.
The Department of Homeland Security told Nevada election officials that it identified 185 “potential” noncitizens on the state’s voter rolls, not the nearly 16,000 it claimed last month.
Nevada election officials have questioned the Trump administration’s claims that thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in the state. Above, a poll worker stands in a polling location in Las Vegas during the state’s primary in June.
