circuit court

The Electronic Frontier Foundation is pressing the DC Circuit to vacate a drone flight restriction that effectively criminalized recording immigration agents from the air. The group argues the restriction violates First Amendment rights by blocking documentation of federal immigration enforcement. The case is drawing attention amid ongoing debate over transparency and accountability in immigration operations.

A circuit court has ruled that the Ohio Bureau of Motor Vehicles can require proof of citizenship when handling voter registration. The decision means Ohioans using BMV services to register to vote may need to provide documentation verifying their citizenship status. Voting rights advocates and election officials are watching the case closely, as such requirements can affect who is able to complete registration.
