华盛顿讯 周一，最高法院驳回了特朗普政府的最后一搏——要求加州将数千名非美国公民的邮寄选票单独隔离的请求。
法院在一份未署名的一行裁决中表示，驳回司法部的临时禁令申请，该申请要求加州选举官员将2万张涉嫌非公民的选票搁置。本次裁决未出现异议意见。
最高法院仅针对特朗普政府的紧急救济请求作出裁决，并未要求加州选举官员在裁决前作出回应。
当日早些时候，联邦上诉法院以意见分歧为由，拒绝下令加州选举工作人员将政府“可能为非公民”名单上人员投出的邮寄选票搁置，司法部遂向最高法院申请介入。
美国地区法官戴维·卡特上周驳回了司法部关于临时限制令的申请，该限制令原本要求将名单上人员的选票隔离；卡特指出，特朗普政府识别涉嫌非公民的过程“充满不确定性和错误”。
加州的选票纠纷发生在2026年中期选举季的最后几天，此时共和党正奋力维持对参众两院的控制权。加州投票自10月初已启动，全州选举部门已收到超过600万张邮寄选票。
特朗普总统多次声称有大量非公民在美国选举中投票，尽管经证实的非公民投票案例极为罕见。非公民在美国选举中投票违反联邦法律。司法部已对200多名被检察官指控在过去选举中非法投票的人提起刑事诉讼。
特朗普政府上月告知加州及洛杉矶县官员，其选民名单上有超过2万名涉嫌非公民，并要求将这些人的选票搁置，在核实其公民身份前不得计入计票。此后，司法部已向加州全部58个县的官员发送了选民登记名单上涉嫌非公民的名单，并要求将这些人的选票搁置。加州登记选民超过2300万人。
但加州及地方选举官员对名单的准确性以及若遵从联邦政府要求可能导致美国公民被剥夺选举权的问题提出了担忧。
司法部随后对加州官员、洛杉矶县 Registrar-Recorder兼县办事员迪恩·洛根提起诉讼，要求法院下令将上述选票隔离。
不过，地区法院和第九巡回上诉法院均未同意司法部的请求。
随着周二的中期选举临近，特朗普政府已采取措施介入选举。联邦检察官致函华盛顿州务卿史蒂夫·霍布斯，要求其将400多张他们声称非美国公民的邮寄选票搁置。但霍布斯表示，政府的涉嫌非公民名单中“有许多”人实际上是美国公民。
司法部还提起诉讼，试图阻止阿拉斯加认证联邦参议员选举结果——若现任共和党参议员丹·沙利文输给民主党人玛丽·佩托拉的话。但一名法官周日驳回了该诉讼。
Supreme Court rejects Trump’s effort to force California to separate mail ballots from alleged noncitizens
November 2, 2026 / 6:03 PM EST / CBS News
Washington — The Supreme Court on Monday turned down a last-ditch effort from the Trump administration to require California to separate mail ballots received from thousands of people that it claims are not U.S. citizens.
The court said in a one line, unsigned order that it was denying the Justice Department’s request for an injunction requiring election officials from California to set aside the ballots from 20,000 alleged noncitizens. There were no noted dissents.
The Supreme Court acted only on the Trump administration’s request for emergency relief and did not ask the California election officials to respond before ruling.
The Justice Department sought the Supreme Court’s intervention earlier in the day after a divided federal appeals court refused to order California election workers to set aside mail ballots cast by people on a government list of “likely” noncitizens.
A U.S. district judge, David Carter, last week rebuffed the Justice Department’s request for a temporary restraining order that would’ve required ballots received from those on the list to be segregated and said the Trump administration’s process for identifying the alleged noncitizens was “rife with uncertainty and errors.”
The dispute over the ballots in California has played out in the closing days of the 2026 midterm campaign season as Republicans have been fighting to maintain their control of the House and Senate. Voting in the state has been underway since early October, and more than 6 million mail ballots have been returned to election offices across California.
President Trump has repeatedly claimed that there are significant numbers of noncitizens voting in U.S. elections, though confirmed instances of noncitizen voting are rare. It is a violation of federal law for people who are not citizens to vote in U.S. elections. The Justice Department has brought criminal charges against more than 200 individuals who prosecutors have alleged illegally voted in past elections.
The Trump administration told officials with the state and Los Angeles County last month that there were more than 20,000 suspected noncitizens on its voter rolls and ordered ballots received from those people to be set aside and not tabulated until their citizenship could be confirmed. It has since sent letters to officials in all of California’s 58 counties with lists of alleged noncitizens on their voter registration lists and demanded ballots from them be put to the side. There are more than 23 million registered voters in California.
But the state and local election officials raised concerns with the accuracy of the list and the potential that U.S. citizens could be disenfranchised if they complied with the federal government’s demand.
The Justice Department went on to file a lawsuit against California officials and Dean Logan, the Los Angeles County registrar-recorder and county clerk, and sought a court order requiring the ballots to be segregated.
Neither the district court or the 9th Circuit, however, agreed to the Justice Department’s request.
As Tuesday’s midterms have approached, the Trump administration has taken steps to intervene in the elections. Federal prosecutors sent a letter to Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs and demanded he set aside mail ballots from more than 400 people they claimed are not U.S. citizens. But Hobbs said the government’s list of alleged noncitizens contained “many” people who actually are U.S. citizens.
The Justice Department also filed a lawsuit seeking to block Alaska from certifying the results of its Senate election if incumbent Sen. Dan Sullivan, a Republican, loses to Democrat Mary Peltola. But a judge tossed out the suit Sunday.
