Justice Department Urges Sanctions for Database Analysis Critical of Its Noncitizen Voting Claims
The department says the analysis violated a court order and could justify contempt review as the dispute over California’s voter list intensifies.
- The Justice Department on Sunday asked District Court Chief Judge James Boasberg to consider contempt charges against an immigrant rights group after they published an analysis of a list containing more than 20,000 alleged noncitizen voters in California.
- On Friday, Boasberg allowed the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights access to federal government data to argue their legal standing, ordering the group not to disclose names and use the information only for court arguments.
- Attorneys for the Coalition filed papers Saturday revealing their analysis found more than 40% of the people on the list do not appear in California's voter file, while identifying 22 people likely to be naturalized citizens.
- Alberto Lammers, a spokesman for the Voting Rights Project, stated that counsel and experts "fully complied with the Court's orders," while the Justice Department argued the analysis was "political grandstanding" irrelevant to the group's legal standing.
- Separately, the Justice Department appealed a ruling by District Court Judge Trina Thompson that barred the government from demanding election offices separate ballots or threaten legal action, with a hearing scheduled for Monday.
