The district court's October 21 order, as quoted in the court filings, states that as of July 2026 DHS had targeted at least 148 such organizations, matching the claim's figure and its scope of nonprofits and churches doing voter engagement.
What was said
… is a little bit more from the judge's ruling that we led with about DHS spying on churches: quote, DHS surveils, covertly infiltrates, and interrogates the staff of nonprofits and churches conducting voter engagement for purposes of carrying out the surge. As of July 2026, DHS targeted at least 148 such organizations. Right, you are trying to register people to vote; you are an enemy of the Trump administration. That's the sort of dichotomy that you need there. …
Deadline: White House · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Contradicts. The Ninth Circuit opinion states that the Federal Defendants had targeted at least 165 such organizations, and that DHS had targeted at least 165 organizations as of July 2026, conflicting with the 148 figure.[1]
Supports. The district court's order, as quoted in the court filing, says that as of July 2026 DHS targeted at least 148 such organizations, citing Dkt. No. 79-2 at 133.[2][3]
Supports. Coverage of the order reports the same figure of 148 nonprofits and churches doing voter engagement, and another report says nearly 150.[4][5][6]
Context. The claim's extraction matches the post's passage, which quotes the district court's 148 figure, so the question is which figure the record supports rather than whether the claim departs from the post.[2]
