(NewsNation)—— 国务院正在“评估”如何在中期选举前与州和地方政府以及一些非营利组织共享护照信息。
(NewsNation) — The State Department is "assessing" how to share passport information with state and local governments, as well as some nonprofit groups, ahead of the midterm elections.
据一位部门发言人称,目标是以一种“保护美国人数据、阻止欺诈并维护美国公民身份完整性”的方式共享信息。
According to a department spokesperson, the goal is to share the information in a way that "protects Americans' data, deters fraud and supports the integrity of U.S. citizenship."
该声明是在周五最高法院以6比3作出裁决后发布的,该裁决允许国土安全部(DHS)向地方政府提供公民身份信息,以便他们核实选民是否为美国公民。特朗普政府周二晚间在一份法庭文件中概述了该计划。
The statement follows a 6-3 Supreme Court decision Friday that allowed the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to provide citizenship information to local governments so they can verify whethered voters are U.S. citizens. The Trump administration outlined the plan in a court filing Tuesday evening.
文件中,司法部表示政府将开始使用护照记录来识别选民登记名单上的非公民。
In it, the Justice Department said the administration will begin using passport records to identify noncitizens on voter registration lists.
根据该文件,国务院将很快在《联邦纪事》(联邦政府的官方日刊)上发布一份通知,提议与其他联邦机构共享“护照服务记录系统中包含的信息”,但未透露这些机构的具体身份。
According to the filing, the State Department will soon publish a notice in the Federal, the federal government's official daily publication, proposing to share "information contained in the Passport Services Records system" with other federal agencies, which were not identified.
据Democracy Docket报道,该通知将允许向使用联邦验证系统的实体共享信息,“目的是为访问政府网站和应用程序的用户验证身份或公民身份、选民资格及其他政府服务”。这些记录包含所有申请过美国护照人员的个人信息。
The notice would allow the information to be shared with entities using federal verification systems "for the purpose of verifying identity or citizenship for users accessing government websites and applications, voter eligibility and other governmental services," according to Democracy Docket. Those records contain personal information on everyone who has applied for a U.S. passport.
1974年的一项联邦隐私法要求政府在以新方式使用个人信息(如姓名或社会安全号码)之前提供公众通知。文件称,该通知最早可能于10月22日发布。
A 1974 federal privacy law requires the government to provide public notice before using personal information, such as names or Social Security numbers, in a new way. The filing said the notice could be published as soon as Oct. 22.
该政府早先利用联邦记录核实选民资格的努力主要依赖社会保障局和国土安全部的记录,其中几项因成功的法庭挑战而受阻。
Earlier efforts by the administration to use federal records to verify voter eligibility relied primarily on records from the Social Security Administration and DHS, and several were slowed by successful court challenges.
该文件是在民主党参议院竞选委员会针对特朗普总统关于邮寄投票的行政命令提起的诉讼中提交的。最高法院最近阻止了美国邮政局执行该命令的部分内容,但其他条款仍然有效。该诉讼现在聚焦于那些仍然有效的条款,这些条款指示国土安全部利用其自身记录、社会保障记录和其他联邦数据,编制每个州的企业名单。
The filing was submitted in a lawsuit brought by the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee against President Trump over his executive order on mail voting. The Supreme Court recently blocked the U.S. Postal Service from implementing parts of that order, though other provisions remain in effect. The lawsuit now focuses on those remaining provisions, which direct DHS to compile lists of businesses in every state using its own records, Social Security records and other federal data.
