DHS noncitizen-voting claims under fire as unverified data is pushed by Trump allies

The Trump administration’s DHS, led by Markwayne Mullin, is pushing states to act on claims that hundreds of thousands of noncitizens are illegally registered to vote, based on SAVE data that DHS itself says is unverified. State officials and courts have pushed back, noting the figures are hedged and require further verification. While DHS touts tallies of potential noncitizens, election officials warn the data could be inflated and used to cast doubt on election results; in several cases, only a small fraction of flagged individuals are found to have voted, and legal challenges have blocked broad data sharing.

Court Order Halts DHS's Bulk Voter Citizenship Checks via SAVE

A federal judge ordered DHS to roll back upgrades to the SAVE system that turned it into a bulk voter citizenship checker, leading to the disabling of bulk upload and partial SSN searches. Before the halt, SAVE had been used to screen more than 67 million registered voters, flagging thousands as noncitizens—many later found to be citizens. DHS has not clearly confirmed the shutdown of the expanded features, prompting concerns about evading the injunction.

"Biden's New Student Loan Repayment Plan: Calculate Your Bill and Find Out How Much You'll Save"

The Biden administration has introduced a new federal student loan repayment plan called SAVE (Saving on a Valuable Education), which calculates monthly payments based on a borrower's income and family size. The plan aims to lower monthly payments for millions of borrowers, particularly low-income individuals. Under SAVE, unpaid interest will not accrue if a borrower makes a full monthly payment, and there is a forgiveness component after making at least 10 years of payments. However, while the plan may reduce monthly payments, it could extend the time it takes to pay off the loan and potentially result in paying back more over time with interest. Borrowers can apply for the SAVE plan through the Federal Student Aid website. Once fully implemented in July 2024, many borrowers will see their monthly payments cut in half.
