On Thursday, Latin civil rights organizations in the U.S. condemned the Save America Act, promoted by President Donald Trump, for potentially excluding millions of voters. The bill, approved by the House of Representatives on February 10, requires voters to present official documentation. Voto Latino denounced the measure as another attempt by Republicans to intimidate and deter voters of color from participating in elections. The group highlighted that nearly 146 million U.S. citizens lack a valid passport and that at least 21 million, particularly in rural and low‑income communities, do not have immediate access to birth or naturalization documents.
