On April 12, Former President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson announced the SAVE Act at Trump's Mar-a-Lago residence, aimed at preventing non-citizens from voting in U.S. elections. The bill enforces stricter voter registration requirements, including proof of U.S. citizenship, and proposes penalties such as 5 years in prison for non-compliance and deporting illegal aliens who register to vote. This legislative move, which also includes measures for removing non-citizens from voter rolls, comes amidst controversies surrounding Johnson's leadership, with Trump offering support against threats to his speakership from within his party. Critics argue that non-citizen voting is already illegal and rare, suggesting the bill targets a non-issue.
