- Trump administration asks Supreme Court to clear the way for new mail-in voting restrictions
The Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to allow implementation of an executive order imposing mail-in voting restrictions. A federal judge in Massachusetts paused parts of the order in 23 states and the District of Columbia, which the administration argued disrupts established judicial doctrines. The order requires the U.S. Postal Service to propose mail-in ballot rules and the Department of Homeland Security to compile state citizenship lists, facing legal challenges from states led by California.
- Trump administration asks justices to have lower court reconsider protected status for Venezuelan and Haitian nationals
The Trump administration requested the Supreme Court to order the 9th Circuit to reconsider its ruling upholding Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Venezuelans and Haitians. The 9th Circuit had previously blocked the termination of TPS designations for these countries, but the Supreme Court paused the lower court's order for Venezuela, allowing deportations. The Trump administration argues the Supreme Court's recent ruling in Mullin v. Doe limits judicial review of TPS decisions.
