/1🚨ELECTION INTEGRITY WIN🚨

Texas just discovered THOUSANDS of potential noncitizens on its voter rolls and launched a statewide verification process to remove ineligible voters.

This is exactly what AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan urged states to do last year.

🧵👇 Image
/2 Last year, AFL sent an Election Integrity Action Plan to all 50 states — a roadmap explaining how to use existing federal law to verify citizenship.

Under 8 U.S.C. §§ 1373 and 1644, states can work with the Department of Homeland Security to confirm a voter’s citizenship.
/3 Using tools outlined in AFL’s Election Integrity Action Plan, Texas cross-checked state voter data against federal immigration records — and found over 2,700 potential noncitizens registered to vote.

/1🏛️NEW BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief urging the U.S. Supreme Court to overrule Humphrey’s Executor and uphold President Trump’s constitutional authority to direct and remove executive officials. Image
/2 AFL, in partnership with Mitchell Law PLLC, filed a brief in Trump v. Slaughter, asking the Court to restore the President’s constitutional control of the Executive Branch.
/3 For nearly ninety years, the Court’s 1935 decision in Humphrey’s Executor v. United States (Humphrey’s Executor) has stripped presidents of control over so-called “independent” agencies like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) — allowing unelected bureaucrats to wield executive power without accountability to the American people.

/1🚨VICTORY — AFL just DEFEATED the @ACLU in a landmark immigration enforcement case.

A Pennsylvania court THREW OUT the ACLU’s lawsuit attacking a local sheriff for working with ICE.

Major victory for the rule of law and public safety. Image
/2 The ACLU and its activist allies sued Bucks County Sheriff Fred Harran for partnering with ICE under the 287(g) Program, which allows trained state and local law enforcement officers to assist federal immigration enforcement efforts.
/3 The ACLU’s lawsuit sought to block local law enforcement from helping federal agents remove criminal illegal aliens and keep Americans safe.

AFL and @WallyZimolong defended Sheriff Harran and fought back against the ACLU’s attack on the rule of law.

/1🏛️📄 NEW SCOTUS BRIEF —

AFL filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court on behalf of Chairman @Jim_Jordan and 17 members of @JudiciaryGOP.

The brief urges SCOTUS to RESTORE the original meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment and its limits on U.S. citizenship. Image
/2 The Fourteenth Amendment grants citizenship only to those born or naturalized in the United States and subject to its jurisdiction — meaning total, exclusive allegiance and lawful presence.

Simply living within our borders is not enough.
/3 Allegiance isn’t geography — it’s a bond.

It requires loyalty from the individual and consent from the nation.

When that consent is broken, citizenship cannot be claimed.

/1🚨BOMBSHELL🚨

AFL has uncovered that MULTIPLE states suing President Trump over his Executive Order on birthright citizenship appear to have NO EVIDENCE to support their claims.
/2 On January 21, 2025, the states of Washington, Oregon, Illinois, and Arizona sued the Trump Administration over Executive Order 14160, which ends birthright citizenship for children of illegal aliens.

The states allege the order will cost them money in programs like Medicaid, CHIP, and adoption assistance.
/3 There’s just one problem.

When AFL filed public records requests seeking clarity from these states on their claims — to show ANY DATA linking the order to actual costs — they came up empty-handed.

/1🚨LANDMARK LAWSUIT🚨

AFL is fighting for a fair and lawful Census — alleging that the 2020 Census used FLAWED statistical methods that FABRICATED population counts and STOLE representation from the American people. Image
/2 The U.S. Constitution requires an actual count of every person every ten years.

Federal law explicitly prohibits the use of “statistical sampling” or other methods that risk inaccurate results.

No models.

No estimates.

No statistical tricks.Image
/3 In 2020, the Census Bureau ignored this mandate.

Instead of counting real people at their real addresses, it used two deeply flawed and unlawful methods:

📊 “Group Quarters Imputation”

💻 “Differential Privacy”
