Trump-Appointed Federal Judge SMASHES Ruling by Foreign-Born Activist Judge — REINSTATES Critical Voter System to Root Out Illegal Alien Voters
The radical Left’s desperate scheme to flood American elections with illegal non-citizen votes just hit a massive, Trump-shaped brick wall in Florida.
A Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida has OVERRULED a highly controversial order by a far-left, foreign-born activist judge in Washington D.C., officially REINSTATING President Donald Trump’s powerhouse election security system.
The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system upgrades, which allow patriot states to instantly screen voter rolls and purge illegal aliens, is back online.
Last March, President Trump signed an executive order aimed at preserving and protecting the integrity of US elections.
“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” Trump’s executive order said.
“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” Trump said.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, on June 22, 2026, Judge Sparkle Sooknanan issued her 75-page crackpot ruling blocking the Trump Administration’s common-sense updates to the SAVE database.
She whined that the federal government had “knowingly trampled on the privacy rights of American citizens in a manner that threatens the sacred right to vote” and accused the administration of “haphazardly combined and repurposed” data.
Sooknanan, a Biden appointee with a long record of radical rulings, had already blocked President Trump from deporting Guatemalan children back to their home country when Guatemala itself requested their return. She also shut down an FTC investigation into far-left Media Matters. Now she’s trying to protect illegal aliens on American voter rolls.
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier and officials from other states had a December 2025 settlement agreement with DHS, approved by U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II, that required the SAVE system to remain fully functional with bulk uploads, full and last-four SSN searches, and rapid responses.
When Sooknanan’s DC ruling forced DHS to disable those exact features to comply, Uthmeier went back to court to enforce the deal.
