美国司法部威胁将对加州采取可能的法律行动，原因是该州在中期选举前将选票寄给了非公民。
司法部周二致函加州州务卿雪莉·韦伯，告知联邦官员已向洛杉矶县选举官员提供了一份名单，上面列出了当局认为是非公民的个人姓名。
代理美国副检察特伦特·麦科特警告称，该州有48小时时间确认名单上的任何个人是否收到了11月3日选举的选票。这一最后期限将于周四晚些时候到期。
“鉴于正在进行的联邦选举，如果届时你方无法完成这一程序，美国将别无选择，只能寻求紧急救济，”信中写道。
超过25万非公民可能在4个关键州登记投票，国土安全部指控

韦伯周三发表声明抗议联邦政府的要求，并将其与司法部此前清除加州选民名册中非公民的行动联系起来。
司法部要求新泽西州5天内提交选民数据，此前曝出非公民登记投票丑闻
“今年7月，特朗普总统和国土安全部部长马克韦恩·马林曾（仍未）未经证实地声称，加州选民名册中有19万非公民。鉴于各州基于国土安全部/SAVE数据将美国公民从选民名册中清除的多起广受关注的案例，州务卿当即要求对方提供支撑其说法的方法论和数据来源的书面信息。他们拒绝了，没有向加州提供任何东西，”韦伯在声明中说道。

“如今美国司法部以‘紧急’诉讼相威胁，要求加州在没有任何证据或法律权威证明其要求合理的情况下，盲目信任本届政府，”她继续说道。
“美国司法部为非法获取各州受保护的选民数据、清除选民名册而做出的不懈努力，只会造成混乱，加剧公众对选举的不信任，”韦伯补充道。“加州有健全的州法律规定，只有美国公民才能登记投票，任何不符合资格的登记者都应从州选民名册中移除。我的办公室和加州选举官员一如既往地致力于确保2026年大选公平、顺利进行。”
自就职以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统政府加强了对各州选民名册的审查，这也是总统更广泛地关注选举诚信的一部分。
特朗普在选举诚信斗争中最高法院胜诉，各州获得新的选民名册工具

今年9月下旬，该政府获得最高法院批准，可推进其大规模选民核查系统。
9月25日的紧急命令允许各州（目前）使用国土安全部名为“系统外国人资格核查（SAVE）”的项目，来核查其名册上选民的资格，正如司法部在加州案件中所做的那样。
特朗普在中期选举前就邮寄投票限制问题最高法院胜诉
最高法院的裁决搁置了联邦法官6月份的一项判决，该判决认定共和党政府最近修订版的SAVE计划非法。美国地区法院法官斯帕克·L·苏克南南曾禁止使用该工具，称其侵犯了美国人的隐私权，并可能导致选民被错误地从名册中移除。

特朗普政府推动扩大SAVE计划，此前总统签署行政命令，要求创建联邦选民登记名单，并对邮寄投票资格施加新的限制，作为打击选民欺诈更广泛努力的一部分。

DOJ gives California 48 hours to review list of possible noncitizens on voter rolls
State has 48 hours to confirm whether individuals on a federal list were sent ballots ahead of midterm elections
October 15, 2026 8:53am EDT | By Anders Hagstrom Fox News
The Justice Department is threatening California with possible legal action after it says the state mailed ballots to noncitizens ahead of the midterm elections.
The DOJ sent a letter on Tuesday to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber informing her that federal officials provided Los Angeles County election officials with a list of names of individuals who authorities believe to be noncitizens.
Acting Deputy U.S. Attorney Trent McCotter warned that the state has 48 hours to confirm whether any of the individuals on the list were mailed ballots for the November 3 election. That deadline will expire later on Thursday.
“If you cannot implement this process by then, given the ongoing federal election, the United States will have no choice but to seek emergency relief,” the letter states.
MORE THAN A QUARTER-MILLION NONCITIZENS MAY BE REGISTERED TO VOTE IN 4 KEY STATES, DHS ALLEGES

Weber released a statement protesting the federal demands on Wednesday, connecting it to earlier efforts by the DOJ to expunge noncitizens from California’s voter rolls.
DOJ GIVES NEW JERSEY 5 DAYS TO HAND OVER VOTER DATA AFTER NONCITIZEN REGISTRATION SCANDAL
“In July of this year, President Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin made (still) unsubstantiated claims that California had 190,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. Given the many high-profile examples of states purging U.S. citizens from their voter rolls based on DHS/SAVE data, SOS immediately requested written information about their methodology and data sources to back up their claims. They refused and provided California with nothing,” Weber said in a statement.

“Now the USDOJ, under threat of ’emergency’ litigation, demands that California blindly trust this administration without any evidence or legal authority to justify its request,” she continued.

“The USDOJ’s relentless efforts to unlawfully gain access to states’ protected voter data and purge voter rolls serve only to cause chaos and fuel public distrust in our elections,” Weber added. “California has robust state law requirements that only U.S. citizens can register to vote and that any non-eligible registrants are removed from the State’s voter rolls. My office and California election officials remain committed — as always — to ensuring a fair and smooth 2026 General Election.”
President Donald Trump’s administration has heightened scrutiny on state voter rolls since gaining office, as part of the president’s wider interest in election integrity.

The administration received approval by the Supreme Court in late September to move forward with its massive voter verification system.
The September 25 emergency order allowed states, for now, to use a Department of Homeland Security program called Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) in their efforts to verify the eligibility of voters on their rolls, as the DOJ has done in the California case.
TRUMP SCORES SUPREME COURT WIN ON MAIL-IN VOTING RESTRICTIONS BEFORE MIDTERMS
The court’s order put on hold a federal judge’s June ruling that had deemed the Republican administration’s recently revamped version of SAVE illegal. U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan had blocked the use of the tool, saying it violated Americans’ privacy rights and could result in voters being wrongly removed from the rolls.

The Trump administration moved to expand SAVE after the president signed an executive order directing the creation of a federal voter registration list and imposed new restrictions on eligibility for voting by mail as part of a broader effort to combat voter fraud.
