KXLH covers the lawsuit by MIJA and MEA-MFT challenging LR-121. Shahid describes the measure as a costly new regulatory system imposed on lawful residents, while attorney Brian Miller explains that the federal SAVE database cannot verify native-born citizens and the law offered no clear answer for people without passports or birth certificates.
The report captures the core constitutional framing of the case: a referendum aimed at undocumented immigrants could burden citizens first, because the system required everyone to prove status before receiving services.
