司法部在非法投票调查中向加州选举工作人员发出传票
代理副司法部长特伦特·麦科特讨论了针对加州选举工作人员发出的联邦传票、对逾2万张标记的邮寄选票的争议，以及司法部在中期选举前可能向最高法院提起的上诉。

一家联邦上诉法院短暂解除了特朗普政府调查加州涉嫌非公民投票的禁令，随后在几小时后改变了立场，将争议交由由11名法官组成的整个第九巡回法院重审。
周初晚间，一个由三名法官组成的小组批准了司法部的请求，暂停旧金山联邦法官下达的临时限制令。该命令此前禁止政府在起诉拒绝配合的州和地方选举官员的警告下，进一步要求搁置选票。
该法官小组表示，政府很有可能在其主张中胜诉，即其相关请求和刑事调查是核心行政职能。

几小时后，根据法院的命令，整个第九巡回法院撤销了该裁决，并下令由全部11名在职法官重新审理此案。此举在全体法院审理该争议期间，恢复了地区法院的限制措施。
临时限制令恢复前，美国司法部首席助理比尔·埃斯利在X平台发文称：“旧金山法官下达的、旨在限制司法部对选举官员进行调查的临时限制令已被适当地解除。开展刑事调查是行政部门的核心职能，而非司法部门的职能。”
针对涉嫌非公民投票调查的诉讼由工会及包括全国有色人种协进会（NAACP）和拉丁裔美国公民联盟在内的民权团体提起。他们认为，司法部和国土安全部致选举官员的信件——这些信件就涉嫌非公民相关选票可能产生的刑事责任发出警告——构成了恐吓行为。

特朗普政府主张，允许非法投票并停止调查工作可能会导致相关人员被起诉。
“美国民众有权对选举抱有信心，”埃斯利于周深夜发文称。“法院已明确表示，针对选举法违规行为的首选补救措施是提起刑事诉讼。在‘保护选票行动’的基础上，我们将继续调查并起诉那些违反选举法或协助他人违反选举法的人。”
此次上诉法院的立场反复，是在最高法院周一拒绝了特朗普政府保护选票的单独请求之后发生的。大法官们拒绝了一项紧急请求，该请求要求加州搁置约2万张联邦官员标记为可能来自非公民的登记选民的邮寄选票。

“我们将继续采取一切可行的法律途径，保护选举的完整性并确保联邦法律得到执行，”代理副司法部长特伦特·麦科特在X平台发文称。
政府此前要求加州将任何涉嫌非法选票与其他选票分开，且不得计票，除非州政府通过调查确认这些选民为美国公民，但加州未经审查便拒绝了该要求。
司法部在向最高法院提交的请求中指出：“一旦加州将有争议的选票与合法选票混在一起，就无法再收回这些选票。”

司法部陷入了法律上的两难境地，它只能眼睁睁看着加州的选票被投出，即便有证据表明这些选票可能来自非公民，之后再采取法律行动。
司法部长托德·布兰奇周一宣布，有63人因选举相关犯罪被起诉。
“今天的宣布标志着唐纳德·特朗普总统重返白宫以来，选民欺诈逮捕人数的最大一次增长，”布兰奇在一份声明中表示。“这些外国公民据称利用了美国民众的信任，无视管理我国选举的法律。司法部将继续调查并起诉选民欺诈行为，以恢复民众对我们选举体系的信心。”

9th Circuit block on California noncitizen voter probe lifted, then restored in legal boomerang
DOJ’s fight to segregate alleged illegal votes is facing continued opposition in California

DOJ subpoenas California election workers in illegal voting probe
Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter discusses federal subpoenas issued to California election workers, a dispute over more than 20,000 flagged mail-in ballots and the Justice Department’s possible Supreme Court appeal ahead of the midterms.

A federal appeals court briefly lifted a block on the Trump administration’s efforts to investigate alleged voting by noncitizens in California, then reversed course hours later, sending the dispute to the full 11-judge 9th Circuit for rehearing.
Earlier Monday night, a three-judge panel granted the Justice Department’s request to pause a temporary restraining order issued by a San Francisco federal judge. That order had barred the administration from making further requests to set aside ballots under the warning of prosecution of state and local election officials who declined.
The panel said the government was likely to prevail in arguing that its requests and criminal investigations were core executive functions.

Hours later, the full 9th Circuit vacated the ruling and ordered the case reheard by all 11 active judges, according to the court’s order. The move restored the district court’s restrictions while the full court considers the dispute.
“The TRO issued by a San Francisco judge purporting to restrict DOJ investigations into election officials has been appropriately lifted,” First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on X before the temporary restraining order was restored. “Conducting criminal investigations is a core function of the executive branch, not the judiciary.”
The case against the investigation of alleged noncitizen voting was brought by labor unions and civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the League of United Latin American Citizens. They argued that DOJ and Homeland Security letters to election officials, which warned of potential criminal liability over ballots linked to suspected noncitizens, amounted to intimidation.

Schaben/Los Angeles Times)
The Trump administration argues that allowing illegal voting and halting investigative work could lead to prosecution for those involved.
“Americans deserve to have confidence in their elections,” Essayli wrote late Monday night. “The courts have made it clear that the preferred remedy for election law violations is criminal prosecution. Building on Operation Protect the Vote, we will continue investigating and charging those who violate election laws or assist in their violation.”
The appeals court whiplash followed a separate Supreme Court rejection of the Trump administration’s effort to protect the vote Monday. The justices denied an emergency request to require California to set aside mail ballots from roughly 20,000 registered voters federal officials flagged as likely noncitizens.

“We will continue pursuing every available legal avenue to protect the integrity of our elections and ensure federal law is enforced,” acting U.S. Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter wrote on X.
The administration had demanded that California separate any alleged unlawful ballots from other ballots and not count them until those voters are determined to be U.S. citizens through investigations that the state has rejected without review.
“Once California commingles the challenged ballots with lawful ones, there is no way to get the challenged ballots back,” the Justice Department wrote in its request to the Supreme Court.

The DOJ has been forced into a legal Catch-22 where it has to watch votes be cast in California, even if they have alleged evidence of them being noncitizen voters, and then pursue legal action afterward.
Attorney General Todd Blanche announced that 63 people were charged with election crimes Monday.
“Today’s announcement marks the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President Donald Trump returned to office,” Blanche wrote in a statement. “These foreign nationals allegedly took advantage of the trust of the American people and flouted the laws that govern our nation’s elections. This Department of Justice will continue investigating and prosecuting voter fraud to restore confidence in our electoral system.”

The DOJ has charged 195 illegal immigrants across 25 states with illegal voting and voter registration offenses in the past nine weeks. There have been charges against 239 people with voting fraud offenses since Trump returned to the White House, according to the DOJ.
