Executive Briefing
According to reporting by CBS News US National, Earlier Monday, the Trump administration asked the Supreme Court to order California election officials to set aside mail ballots from 20,000 people it alleges are noncitizens.
Detailed Factual Report
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.
