Supreme Court lets Trump administration access Social Security data
Original: Infuriating, but⚡"IMMEDIATE IMPACT ON THE UPCOMING # ELECTION IS LIKELY LIMITED”🚨"In non-MO emerg dkt, # SCOTUS *grants*
The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration's emergency request for a stay in the SAVE case, allowing the Department of Homeland Security access to certain Social Security information over the objection of the three Democratic-appointed justices. Legal commentators note the decision's immediate impact on the upcoming election is likely limited, since existing law already restricts how the data can be used, but critics call the ruling infuriating and a worrying expansion of immigration enforcement powers.
Why now: People are reacting to a fresh Supreme Court emergency order on immigration-related data access just before an election.
