  "summary": "The US Supreme Court has lifted restrictions on the Trump administration's use of a controversial federal database, known as Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE), to identify voters suspected of being non-citizens. The court ruled that the National Voter Registration Act prohibits broad purges of voter rolls in the weeks before an election, limiting the potential impact of the decision ahead of the midterms. However, critics have raised concerns about the reliability of the data, warning that it could result in US citizens being wrongly removed from electoral rolls.",
