A federal court greenlit a North Carolina law requiring strict photo ID to vote, citing recent SCOTUS decisions involving the Voting Rights Act.
The ruling marks a real-world example of how the court’s campaign to chip away at the landmark law is leading to increased barriers for voters of color.

Sanctuary policies are legal. The Supreme Court has been clear for decades that the federal government cannot commandeer state or local governments to enforce federal immigration law. This isn’t “playing with fire.” It’s constitutional law.
