| 06/25/2026 | 191 | Judge Indira Talwani: MEMORANDUM AND ORDER entered. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED and DECLARED that Sections 2 and 3 of the EO are legally void as they are ultra vires and unconstitutionally violate the separation of powers, and that Section 5 of the EO is merely precatory. In addition, other than the President, Defendants and their officers, agents, servants, and employees are hereby ENJOINED from implementing or giving effect to Sections 2 and 3 of the EO with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election in the Plaintiff States as follows: a. Defendants United States Department of Justice, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, United States Department of Homeland Security, Secretary Markwayne Mullin, United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Director Joseph B. Edlow, United States Social Security Administration, Commissioner Frank Bisignano, United States Department of Commerce, and Secretary Howard Lutnick, including their officers, agents, servants, and employees, are enjoined from implementing, giving effect to, or enforcing Section 2 of the EO as to Plaintiff States with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election, including taking any steps to create a new federal program to superintend and control Plaintiff States’ maintenance of their voter rolls; or initiating any investigation or prosecution of Plaintiff States, their officials, local officials, or agents of such state or local officials involved in the administration of federal elections within Plaintiff States, stemming from the unconstitutional provisions in Section 2 of the EO. This injunction does not bar the federal government from providing assistance with verifying the citizenship or eligibility of any voter if the assistance is provided at the request of any State and within the framework provided by Congress. b. Defendants United States Department of Justice, Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, United States Postal Service, Postmaster General David Steiner, Deputy Postmaster General Doug Tolino, Chair Amber McReynolds, Vice Chair Derek T. Kan, and Members Ronald Stroman and Daniel Tangherlini, including their officers, agents, servants, and employees, are enjoined from implementing, giving effect to, or enforcing Section 3(b)(i)(v) or (d) of the EO as to elections mail for elections administered by Plaintiff States and ballot envelopes used by Plaintiff States with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election, including refusing to transmit mail-in or absentee ballots from voters registered in Plaintiff States to elections officials in Plaintiff States, regardless of the voters location; or otherwise initiating or completing rulemaking to promulgate the specific regulations outlined in Section 3(b)(i)(v) or (d) of the EO as to elections mail for elections administered by Plaintiff States and ballot envelopes used by Plaintiff States for the November 3, 2026 election, or any earlier election. This injunction does not bar the federal government from providing non-binding USPS guidance on ballot mail envelopes or from providing assistance with verifying citizenship or eligibility of any voter if the assistance is provided at the request of any Plaintiff State and within the framework provided by Congress. c. Defendants United States Department of Justice and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche, including their officers, agents, servants, and employees, are enjoined from initiating any investigation or prosecution of Plaintiff States, their officials, local officials, or agents of such state or local officials involved in the administration of federal elections within Plaintiff States, with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election, stemming from the unconstitutional provisions in Sections 2 and 3 of the EO. d. Defendants, other than the President, are hereby ORDERED that they must, in good faith, take such steps as are necessary to prevent explicit or implicit implementation of Sections 2, 3 and 5 of the EO, and to cease and reverse any implementation of those provisions, as to Plaintiff States, with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election. Further, Defendants, other than the President, are hereby ORDERED to: (a) Within seven (7) calendar days of entry of this Order, provide written notice of this Order to all Defendants and their employees, and to further notify them that Sections 2 and 3 of the EO are unlawful, null, and void and Section 5 is merely precatory, as to Plaintiff States with respect to the November 3, 2026 or any earlier federal election; (b) Notify all recipients that they are required to comply with this Order, under penalty of contempt; and (c) Provide counsel for Plaintiff States with a copy of the notice and/or communications referred to in (a)–(b) on the docket, within seven (7) days of issuance of such notice and/or communications. Defendants are hereby ORDERED to file a status report with the court within seven (7) days of entry of this Order describing steps taken to ensure compliance with it. The court retains jurisdiction to enforce the injunction and judgment and to award other such relief as may be appropriate. Plaintiff States are directed to file a proposed Judgment for entry in this matter within seven (7) days of entry of this Order. IT IS SO ORDERED. (MAP) (Entered: 06/25/2026) |
