Politico (July 28, 2026, before the August 25 post) reports Gov. Mikie Sherrill's administration refused the DOJ's demand for names, nationalities and addresses of the roughly 6,600 noncitizens mistakenly registered, citing privacy laws.

Supports. Politico reports New Jersey will not cooperate with the DOJ demand for personal data on the approximately 6,600 noncitizens, with Sherrill saying the request 'had no legal basis.'[4]
Supports. Reuters reports the DOJ letter to Sherrill demanded the names, nationalities and addresses of the roughly 6,600 non-citizens, which is the data the state declined to hand over.[1]
Context. Sherrill's July 21 statement confirms roughly 6,600 people who indicated they were not citizens were registered between June 2023 and June 2024, and that the state ordered their removal from the rolls.[2][3]
Context. Later reporting (October 2026) says the state's investigation is ongoing, and that a teen noncitizen's case is disputed; these developments postdate the August 25 claim and do not change its status on that date.[5][6]
