SCOTUS Unlocks CITIZENSHIP Vetting

Rep. Claudia Tenney joins John Solomon and Amanda Head on Just the News after the Supreme Court cleared the way for states to use the revamped SAVE system to check voter citizenship and immigration status. Tenney argues New York already lets noncitizens get licenses—and register—without real verification, and that once a ballot is in the box, the damage is done.

The Court paused a lower-court ban on the Trump administration’s expanded SAVE database, which ties DHS immigration records to Social Security data so states can run citizenship checks. Tenney calls it common sense: New York’s own Court of Appeals said only citizens can vote, yet DMV still does not have to confirm eligibility. She says sheriffs want the rolls cleaned before Election Day.

Hosts raise reports that states with the highest ICE removals are seeing the steepest rent drops. Tenney says that message is not landing with NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, whom she brands a socialist/Marxist focused on centralized housing and government control rather than private property. She questions how such officials swear an oath to a Constitution built on individual rights.

After Xi’s three-day Washington visit—pageantry, a trade-truce extension, few big public breakthroughs—Tenney says Trump is dealing with an adversary that spies, undercuts U.S. producers, and backs America’s enemies. She wants pressure kept on farm purchases China never fully delivered and on tariff games routed through third countries.

Tenney slams Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Beijing outreach and the deal that opened Canada to tens of thousands of Chinese EVs at low tariffs. She says Canada leans on U.S. trade and Five Eyes security while courting China and the EU, and that Washington should focus on that—not “51st state” talk—if it wants conservative Canadians back at the table.
Should states run every voter file through SAVE before another ballot is counted?
