Officials Call DOJ's Noncitizen Voter List in California Unreliable

Officials say the U.S. Justice Department's list of Californians who are "likely" noncitizen voters is unreliable. Separately, the United Nations reports a major rise in U.S. climate pollution.

A U.S. Justice Department list of California voters who are "likely" noncitizens is unreliable, according to officials. The Justice Department is the federal agency responsible for law enforcement in the United States, and California is one of its states.

The list concerns people on California's voter rolls whom the department considers likely not to be U.S. citizens. Officials say it should not be trusted. The short source summary does not say which officials made the assessment, what data the list is based on, or how many people it includes.

UN: U.S. pollution is rising

In a separate development, the United Nations reports a major increase in climate pollution from the United States. The size of the increase and the period it covers are not specified in the source.

Both items appeared in an NPR daily news roundup, and further details are not yet available.
