AWFUL news tonight. This blesses the “mandatory” detention in the 5th Circuit without bond (and little chance at habeas) of every undocumented immigrant who originally entered across the border, no matter how many decades in the past.
It will fuel ICE’s push to transfer people to Texas immediately.

SAVE Act has nothing to do with voter ID, that's not in there. It creates deliberately difficult hurdles for registration to vote, where a DL-type ID isn't sufficient. But states that don't check ID at the polls would not be required to start. Every time they claim it's a "voter ID" bill is a lie.
NBC: Is Trump suggesting the federal government count votes in elections?
LEAVITT: What he's suggesting is that Republicans and Democrats in Congress should pass the Save America Act. It will require voter ID to vote and proof of citizenship to register to vote.
