Plaintiffs' Motion for a Preliminary Injunction on All Counts

Date
Case
Defending Civic Engagement Groups Against Restrictions on Voter Registration at Naturalization Ceremonies (League of Women Voters of the United States et al. v. United States Citizenship and Immigration Services et al.)
Court Level
District Court

Plaintiffs filed a motion for a preliminary injunction on all counts seeking to halt USCIS' enforcement of their Voter Registration Ban and ensure that the League and its members and volunteers can immediately return to reaching new citizens at administrative naturalization ceremonies and providing them with voter registration assistance and education. The Voter Registration Ban prevents Plaintiffs and other community groups from attending administrative naturalization ceremonies to assist new citizens with voter registration and provide them with civic education and information. The Ban fails to adhere to procedural and substantive requirements in the Administrative Procedure Act and infringes on Plaintiffs' First Amendment rights to engage in protected speech by reaching and engaging new citizens.
