Trump’s pardons don’t erase a criminal conviction but they dismiss pending charges and release convicted people from prison and restore any rights that might have been taken away.

BREAKING: The House GOP made it official: the SAVE Act is a top priority.
But here's the thing: nearly 1 in 10 voting-age Americans can't easily prove their citizenship.
