'We have done justice': Trump admin denied access to sensitive voter data, judge likely to dismiss DOJ lawsuit

Oregon does not have to turn over comprehensive voter registration to the Trump administration, a federal court ruled this week.

In September 2025, the U.S. Department of Justice sued the Beaver State and its Secretary of State Tobias Read. The lawsuit alleged violations of the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), the Help America Vote Act (HAVA), and the Civil Rights Act (CRA) of 1960.

In November 2025, Oregon filed a motion to dismiss. Days later, the state received an assist when the Democratic National Committee filed an amicus, or friend of the court, brief in support of that motion.

On Wednesday evening, in a bench ruling, U.S. District Judge Mustafa T. Kasubhai, a Joe Biden appointee, signaled he would rule in Oregon's favor by likely dismissing the DOJ's lawsuit in the coming days.

This Oregon case is different from but ran parallel to the California case.
