The Electronic Privacy Information Center is pressing a federal court to rule against the Department of Homeland Security, arguing that the agency's actions violate the law. EPIC's request is scheduled for a hearing on Friday before U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis.
EPIC contends that the Department of Justice has been employing delay tactics to stall proceedings. According to EPIC, these maneuvers are aimed at advancing voter suppression schemes linked to the Trump administration.
The case centers on EPIC's bid for a declaratory judgment that DHS's actions are unlawful. EPIC's filing characterizes the DOJ's delays as part of a broader strategy rather than routine procedural moves, putting the lawfulness of both the agency's conduct and the DOJ's litigation approach in question.
