BREAKING: Federal Judge Appointed by Obama Supports Law That Allows Non-Citizens and Illegal Aliens to Vote in Municipal Elections


On Friday, a federal judge upheld a Washington DC law permitting noncitizens, including illegal immigrants, to vote in municipal elections.

Amy Berman Jackson, a US District Judge for the District of Columbia appointed by Obama, dismissed a lawsuit filed by a conservative group challenging the Local Resident Voting Rights Act, which was passed by the DC Council in October 2022.



The law not only grants voting rights to non-citizens and illegal aliens, but it also authorizes noncitizens to run for office!

Judge Jackson declared that the lawsuit did not establish how the plaintiffs were harmed by illegals participating in voting or pursuing political office.



As reported by FOX News:

A federal judge on Thursday tossed a conservative legal group’s lawsuit against a controversial Washington, D.C., law that allows noncitizens — including illegal immigrants and foreign embassy staff members — to vote in municipal elections.

In a 12-page opinion, Judge Amy Berman Jackson said the plaintiffs, a group of U.S. citizen voters represented by the Immigration Reform Law Institute (IRLI), lacked standing to challenge the law because they could not demonstrate how they are harmed by noncitizens who vote and run for local office.

The complaint “does not include facts showing plaintiffs’ right to vote has been denied, that they have been subjected to discrimination or inequitable treatment or denied opportunities when compared to another group, or that their rights as citizens have been ‘subordinated merely because of [their] father’s country of origin,'” Jackson wrote.


“They identify nothing that has been taken away or diminished and no right that has been made subordinate to anyone else’s.”
