The Supreme Court just gave a giant green light to messy citizenship checks
Because apparently, the government isn't good enough at keeping track of who actually lives here.
The Supreme Court just decided to breathe life back into a data system that was basically a massive red flag. This thing was overhauled during the Trump administration and has a nasty habit of labeling actual U.S. citizens as, well, not citizens.
Lower courts previously looked at the mess and pointed out that it shredded privacy protections, but the high court didn't seem to care about those pesky details. They are letting the government use this flawed system anyway, despite the history of false alarms that would make any normal database admin quit in shame.
It is nice to know that bureaucratic efficiency is being prioritized over the minor inconvenience of having one's constitutional rights questioned by a glitchy algorithm.
