The ruling came in connection with a lawsuit by the American Civil Liberties Union over a Kansas law requiring people to prove their citizenship when they register to vote. As part of the lawsuit, the ACLU sought documents Kobach was photographed holding when he met with Trump in November that contained proposed changes to the 1993 National Voter Registration Act. Kobach produced the documents to the court, but marked them as confidential, preventing them from being released to the public. As part of the sanctions, O’Hara ruled the ACLU could depose Kobach over the documents. He also hinted the court would be hesitant to protect the documents under seal as the litigation continues.
