Two overlapping lawsuits pending against Alabama Secretary of State Wes Allen have officially been dismissed.
The legal actions, filed on behalf of several liberal organizations/private plaintiffs and the Biden Department of Justice, came after Allen ordered the removal of 3,000 non-citizens from Alabama’s voter rolls just before the 2024 Presidential Election. Prior to the purge, Allen had attempted to gain access to non-citizen data from the US Department of Homeland Security but was denied multiple times. In response, he implemented an Alabama-based solution to identify potential noncitizens who had self-reported their noncitizen status and had registered to vote.
“I am incredibly pleased to announce that President Trump’s USDOJ has filed to dismiss this case and that the liberal organizations involved have followed suit,” Allen said. “Dismissal is a true victory for the State of Alabama, the Constitution, and election integrity.”

According to Allen, when non-citizens vote illegally, lawful votes are “diluted.”
“Non-citizens are rightfully not allowed to vote under state and federal law. Every Alabama citizen’s vote matters. When those votes are at stake, I will always fight, just as I have done since taking my oath of office. Rest assured, I have never stopped and promise to continue protecting Alabama elections from illegal noncitizen voting, including in advance of the 2026 election cycle.”
The Secretary is excited to finally have an ally in the White House who shares his opinions on the issue.
“President Trump and I hold the same zero-tolerance position on noncitizen voting,” Allen said. “We are truly blessed to have leadership restored in the Whitehouse and at the federal level that will respect, uphold, and defend our country against the liberal ideologies that have plagued America for far too long.”
The Biden Department of Justice claimed the decision to purge the illegal voters violated the National Voter Registration Act because it was done too close to the 2024 Presidential Election.
