Anonymous sources “with direct knowledge of the plan” tell CBS News that the plan is in place for “the federal government to use sensitive voter registration data for immigration and criminal investigations," as the Department of Justice and the Department of Homeland Security near a formal agreement that would allow federal authorities to use voter registration data in immigration and criminal probes.

The DOJ seemed to confirm the reports, with a spokesperson telling the outlet that, “This Department of Justice is devoting significant resources to ensure that elections are free, fair, and transparent. That includes litigation to ensure voter roll maintenance and a clear focus on ensuring that American elections are decided solely by American citizens.”

Dare to dream.

Under the reported plan, the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division would provide voter roll data collected from states to Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations, with the goal of identifying non-citizens who may be registered to vote or who may have participated in past elections unlawfully. The request for access is expected to be submitted by Todd Lyons, currently serving as the senior official performing the duties of ICE director.

Officials are also considering building a system that would enable federal investigators to cross-reference voter registration records with DHS immigration databases, allowing direct query-based matching between the two systems.

It's important to realize that privacy is a myth. The idea that the federal government cannot identify frauds – whether election or entitlement or immigration frauds – from government data sets is very silly. It’s a position that can only be held by those intent on committing frauds.

And, notably, these states had no issues sharing data with the federal government when they were besties and collaborating to undermine the civil rights of their political opponents.

Still seems like we're inching towards that showdown...
