Last week, a federal judge in Washington, D.C., permanently halted Trump's efforts to require people who file federal voter registration forms to prove they are U.S. citizens. U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly argued that such a directive is an unconstitutional violation of the separation of powers, according to a report by PBS News.
