BREAKING: Trump Administration Launches National Citizenship Database
Citizenship Database Triggers Alarm
July 6, 2025 — The Trump administration has quietly rolled out a first-of-its-kind national citizenship verification database, triggering alarm among civil rights groups and election officials who fear it could be used to wrongly disenfranchise voters ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The database, created under the Department of Homeland Security and the newly empowered Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), aggregates data from immigration records, the Social Security Administration, and other agencies to create a searchable registry of U.S. citizens and non-citizens.
Vendors claim over 9 million voter records have already been processed, and that the system will be made available to state and local election officials this fall. The system is built on an expanded version of the SAVE (Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements) program, originally designed to verify non-citizens for public benefits eligibility, but now expanded to include U.S.-born and naturalized citizens.
This could pave the way for mass voter purges based on faulty or outdated data, especially in swing states. It also has the potential to violate the Privacy Act, as the database was launched without a formal public comment period.
The White House claims the goal is to prevent voter fraud and ensure only eligible citizens vote. But multiple investigations have found voter fraud to be exceedingly rare in the United States.

Of course. They’re going to weaponize this. The only question is what the details of that organization are going to be.
Fuck Trump. He's just trying to kill us all.
