Department of Homeland Security v. League of Women Voters · ¶10

Although the plaintiff organizations likely have standing, their claims likely lack merit. The plaintiff organizations claim that the federal defendants violated the Social Security Act, Privacy Act, and APA. In 1996, Congress, however, separately and expressly authorized DHS to request and receive information relating to citizenship and immigration status from other agencies, including SSA, in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act (IIRIRA).
