US District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan (L), U.S. District Judge T. Kent Wetherell II (R)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.Judge Wetherell stepped up and delivered. Judge Wetherell granted an emergency motion filed by Florida and several other states, directing DHS to immediately reinstate access to the SAVE system’s bulk-upload and Social Security number (SSN) search capabilities.Judge Wetherell wrote:“Plaintiffs’ emergency motion to enforce settlement agreement is GRANTED, and Defendants shall immediately comply… by reinstating Plaintiffs’ access to the bulk-upload and SSN-search features in the SAVE system.”Wetherell didn’t simply order DHS to comply with the prior settlement agreement. He also took direct aim at the legal reasoning behind Judge Sooknanan’s decision.The Florida judge wrote that the court had already implicitly determined the SAVE modifications were lawful when it approved the settlement agreement and made that conclusion explicit in Monday’s order, stating that the bulk-upload and SSN-search features do not violate either the Social Security Act or the Privacy Act.The judge further rejected arguments that DHS should wait for appellate proceedings before restoring the system, noting that Florida, Ohio, and Iowa presented unrebutted evidence that they were suffering ongoing harm because they could no longer verify citizenship for voter registration and other state programs.According to the order, Florida argued that disabling the SAVE features prevented the state from carrying out laws requiring verification of registered voters’ citizenship.Ohio raised similar concerns, while Iowa argued the changes impaired its ability to verify citizenship for professional license applicants.Judge Wetherell concluded that these sovereign state interests outweighed the concerns raised by advocacy groups challenging the SAVE system.He specifically wrote that the states’ interests in ensuring non-citizens are not on voter rolls and that unlawfully present aliens are not receiving professional licenses outweighed the competing interests advanced in the D.C. litigation.The result is an unusual judicial standoff: one federal court has ordered DHS to eliminate the SAVE features, while another has ordered the agency to restore them. Unless one order is stayed or modified, the conflict is likely headed to the appellate courts for resolution.— SCOTUS Wire (@scotus_wire) July 7, 2026The court acknowledged DHS now faces two conflicting federal court orders, one requiring the features to be disabled and another requiring them to be restored.Nevertheless, Wetherell concluded that the settlement agreement approved by his court remains enforceable and ordered DHS to comply immediately.The parties have also been ordered to submit a status report within seven days detailing DHS’s compliance and any developments in the related D.C. litigation.The post Trump-Appointed Federal Judge SMASHES Ruling by Foreign-Born Activist Judge — REINSTATES Critical Voter System to Root Out Illegal Alien Voters appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
