In a Rhode Island federal court hearing on March 27, 2026, the Justice Department acknowledged it will share voter‑registration records it is collecting from states with the Department of Homeland Security so DHS can run the data through an overhauled SAVE system to check citizenship. Sources say ICE Homeland Security Investigations’ acting leader Todd Lyons is expected to request access and that DOJ has debated how much raw data to provide, but it has not disclosed the plan in related litigation or issued the required Privacy Act notice, raising concerns about erroneous citizen flags and the supplanting of state election authority.
