Voter rolls have nothing to do with ICE’s presence in Minnesota. But they have a lot to do with the Trump administration’s efforts to meddle in elections. https://bit.ly/4bj8dL3

About us
The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law is a nonpartisan law and policy institute that works to reform, revitalize – and when necessary, defend – our country's systems of democracy and justice. At this critical moment, the Brennan Center is dedicated to protecting the rule of law and the values of Constitutional democracy. We focus on voting rights, campaign finance reform, ending mass incarceration, and preserving our liberties while also maintaining our national security. Part think tank, part advocacy group, part cutting-edge communications hub, we start with rigorous research. We craft innovative policies. And we fight for them – in Congress and the states, the courts, and in the court of public opinion.

New data from the Council on Criminal Justice shows a 21% decline in murder between 2024 and 2025, confirming a trend observed by analysts like Jeff Asher. While the Trump Administration has recently tried to take credit for these developments, the real story is much more complicated. For one, our work at the Brennan Center for Justice shows crime started falling sharply around 2022 — years before Trump's return to office. And research by John Roman and others points to the impact of the post-pandemic surge in state and federal violence prevention investments. Our goal as always is to separate signal from noise. As the data continues to come in, evidence—not rhetoric—should guide how policymakers respond. https://lnkd.in/eAXRauwB

On Friday, a bipartisan group of 25 former DOJ officials filed an amicus brief in QueerDoc v. DOJ. The brief takes no position on gender-affirming care. Instead, it makes a narrow but vital point: investigations may not be “used as a means of retribution against a perceived enemy—or as a tool for coercion, to achieve a change in conduct which the law would not otherwise empower the government to compel.” It was a pleasure to represent this group, along with my colleagues Wendy Weiser and Joseph Gaeta; and co-counsel Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP!

On Friday a group of 25 former DOJ officials who served under admins of both parties filed a brief in support of plaintiffs in QueerDoc v. DOJ, arguing it was correct for a district court to quash DOJ’s subpoena seeking extensive internal documents and confidential patient records from QueerDoc. The former Justice Department officials outline a number of rules and norms broken by the current Justice Department in its issuing of the subpoena, and write that those deviations reinforce the court’s finding that the subpoena appeared to be a pretext to harass or intimidate QueerDoc. The Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law and Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler LLP filed the brief on behalf of the former Justice Department officials. https://lnkd.in/eCvikVjZ
