- US Senate blocks Trump’s SAVE America Act, thwarting restrictions on voting
The U.S. Senate rejected the SAVE America Act, which aimed to impose voting restrictions by requiring citizenship documentation and photo IDs. The 48-50 vote blocked the act from being included in an immigration bill, with some Republican senators joining Democrats in opposition. The legislation faced criticism for potentially disenfranchising voters, while supporters argued it was necessary to address noncitizen voting.
