/1🚨🗳️NEW LAWSUIT TO STOP ILLEGAL ALIEN VOTING

We just sued Maricopa County, AZ for refusing to remove illegal aliens from their voter rolls ahead of the election.

Maricopa officials are blatantly defying a state law mandate to purge ineligible voters from the rolls—so we SUED: Image
/2 We filed a lawsuit against the Maricopa County Recorder on behalf of Strong Communities Foundation of Arizona and a registered voter and naturalized citizen for failing to take action to remove foreign citizens from their voter rolls.
/3 On July 17, 2024, we sent letters on behalf of our clients demanding that election officials in all 15 Arizona counties fulfill their legal obligations to prevent aliens from voting and warning them that we would pursue legal action if they fail to do so.
/4 Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer replied through his attorney, brazenly stating that he would not be taking any action. He incorrectly claimed that his office is already following the law about verifying the citizenship of voters.
/5 This claim is incorrect because the number of registered voters without confirmed citizenship continues to rise under his watch, and his office has not even bothered to obtain access to any of the necessary databases for checking the citizenship of already registered voters.
/6 We are now fulfilling our legal promise and suing Maricopa County on behalf of our clients. 

Arizona election officials have a mandatory obligation to ensure that foreign nationals are removed from their voter rolls and that they use the available access to federal databases.
/7 Arizona law requires county recorders to perform monthly list maintenance to confirm the citizenship of registered voters who have failed to provide proof of their citizenship.
/8 Two federal statutes that have been in effect for nearly thirty years, 8 U.S.C. § 1373(c) and 8 U.S.C. § 1644, allow State and local officials to obtain information about the citizenship or immigration status of any individual for any lawful purpose.

Yet, Recorder Richer obstinately refuses to use these statutes to get citizenship information from DHS about voters registered in Maricopa County.
/9 Last month, we urged all 50 states to use this existing federal law to stop foreigners from voting in our elections.

You can read more about our plan below:
/10 As of April 1, 2024, there were 35,273 registered voters in AZ who had failed to provide proof of their citizenship and were therefore entitled to vote in federal (but not State and local) races.

The 2020 presidential election in AZ was decided by only 10,457 votes. Image
/11 Given Maricopa County’s failure to act, AFL has taken swift legal action to compel them to fulfill their statutory duties. aflegal.org/america-first-…

/1🚨BREAKING—AFL has filed a complaint with the Dept. of Education, urging an immediate investigation into Illinois’ new law forcing annual mental health screenings on children without parental consent—a clear violation of federal law and shocking expansion of state power. Image
/2 Illinois’ Public Act 104-0032 orders schools to screen kids in grades 3–12 for mental health issues at least once a year, starting in 2027.

No consent. No parental notice. Just the State interrogating children about their private emotions, family life, and home environment—and recording their answers in a government database.
/3 Under the Protection of Pupil Rights Amendment, schools must obtain affirmative written parental consent before subjecting any child to any “survey, analysis, or evaluation” about their mental health or psychological condition.

Illinois’ new law ignores that requirement entirely.

/1🚨PROTECT YOUR CHILDREN — America First Legal just released a template letter that parents can use to opt out of radical classroom instruction and woke school policies. Image
/2 AFL’s letter enables parents to exercise their rights after the Supreme Court’s landmark decision in Mahmoud v. Taylor.

The Court held that a school district violated parents’ rights by failing to provide notice and an opportunity to opt out before exposing children to radical LGBTQ storybooks.
/3 AFL’s letter also helps parents exercise their rights under the PPRA — a federal law that requires schools to give parents notice and an opportunity to inspect classroom materials.

/1🔎NEW — AFL has expanded its investigation into the City of Portland and the Portland Police Bureau.

We’re examining the bureau’s involvement with anti-ICE groups and Antifa — and whether it let radical demonstrators disrupt ICE operations, assault reporters, or shield Antifa. Image
/2 AFL has requested records to uncover how Portland officials may have enabled lawlessness — including by assisting anti-ICE groups in acquiring office space.
/3 This expands AFL’s ongoing investigation into the City of Portland, which previously uncovered its explicit inclusion of race as a central component of the city’s policing practices to achieve “equitable outcomes.”

/1🚨EXPOSED — New documents reveal that after Hamas terrorists’ October 7 attack, Biden’s DOJ DOWNPLAYED the surge in antisemitism across America — while giving the SPLC an OPEN LINE to steer federal civil-rights policy away from policing antisemitic violence. Image
/2 BEFORE OCTOBER 7, 2023:

Combating antisemitic violence was on DOJ’s agenda.

In December 2022, it was listed on the event memo for the Deputy Attorney General’s “Quarterly Civil Rights Organization Meeting,” lumped in with “Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence.” Image
/3 The agenda for the 2022 meeting included addressing “White Supremacy in Law Enforcement,” in addition to “Anti-LGBTQ+ Hate” and the SPLC’s perspective on hate crimes data. Image

/1🚨BREAKING — Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis didn’t dismantle its illegal “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion” regime. 

Instead, they hid their DEI office on a restricted floor.

America First Legal found it.

🧵…. Image
/2 The Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, once on the 1st floor of the North Medical Building — open and visible to the public — has been moved to the 12th floor of the Mid Campus Center, a restricted-access floor omitted from the university’s official floor plan. Image
/3 An office built on “equity and inclusion” now operates behind locked doors, inaccessible to the public, the students, and the community it claims to represent.

We’d ask what WashU is hiding — but we already know. Image

/1🚨HUGE — The University of Virginia has agreed to DISMANTLE its illegal DEI infrastructure following a months-long federal civil rights investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice and a federal civil rights complaint from America First Legal. Image
/2 The agreement requires UVA to end race-, sex-, and identity-based discrimination across its operations, report compliance data through 2028, and certify in writing quarterly that every department is in full compliance with federal civil rights laws.
/3 This action follows AFL’s extensive investigation and subsequent federal civil rights complaint calling for enforcement against UVA’s discriminatory practices.

AFL exposed UVA’s unlawful attempts to preserve and rebrand DEI under euphemisms, proving the university’s so-called “reforms” were cosmetic.
