A federal judge stopped the Trump administration from creating a large database using Social Security numbers and other sensitive personal information. The judge ruled that the government did not follow legal rules and harmed Americans’ privacy and voting rights.
Key Facts
U.S. District Judge Sparkle Sooknanan blocked the government from building a voter database with sensitive data.
The lawsuit was filed by the League of Women Voters and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC).
The database involved a program called SAVE, managed by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which checks immigration status.
Under President Trump’s order, the SAVE system was expanded to mix Social Security data with DHS records.
This expanded system would let states verify citizenship and potentially remove voters from registration lists.
The judge ruled the government acted secretly and did not give proper public notice or privacy checks as required by law.
Judge Sooknanan was appointed by President Biden and is the first Trinidad-born woman to serve on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.
The ruling protects Americans’ privacy and the right to vote by stopping the data pooling before the 2026 U.S. midterm elections.

AMD removed a security feature called Transparent Secure Memory Encryption (TSME) from some of its consumer Ryzen processors without telling users. After customers complained, AMD decided to bring back the feature in a BIOS update expected in July.
Key Facts
TSME encrypts data stored in a computer’s memory to prevent theft during physical attacks.
AMD added TSME to high-end CPUs about ten years ago and later to lower-end consumer Ryzen processors.
Recently, AMD quietly removed TSME from some non-Pro Ryzen 9000-series desktop processors through a firmware change.
The removal was not announced, and it was hard to detect on Windows computers.
Users expressed strong dissatisfaction on social media after the change was discovered.
AMD plans to restore the TSME option in a BIOS update coming next month.
AMD has not explained why it removed TSME initially.
Possible reasons for removal include pushing customers to buy more expensive CPUs or reducing performance delays caused by encryption.
