The court has prohibited Trump's administration from threatening election workers with investigation.

A U.S. federal judge has prohibited the Trump administration from intimidating election officials ahead of the midterm elections. This ruling follows attempts by the administration to pressure states to segregate ballots allegedly cast by non-citizens. The Justice Department had previously warned election officials in California about potential investigations into illegal voting. The judge ruled that such actions could disenfranchise eligible voters and ordered the government to refrain from any measures that threaten or coerce election workers. This decision is part of a series of unfavorable rulings for the Trump administration regarding the handling of ballots deemed irregular.
