联邦法官叫停国土安全部选举相关清查行动内华达等九州在投票日前受禁令保护
美国加利福尼亚北区联邦地区法院法官阿拉塞利·马丁内斯-奥尔金10月21日（周三）发布初步禁令，禁止国土安全部在内华达州等九个州开展可能波及美国公民的选举相关外勤行动，禁令持续至选举日投票结束。内华达州媒体10月24日援引《内华达时事》报道了这一裁决。诉讼由旧金山市、圣克拉拉县、加州护士协会、全国护士联合会和拉丁裔投票基金会提起，指控国土安全部派武装人员上门询问居民的选民身份。法官在裁决中写道，现有证据足以使人“客观合理地担心与执法部门纠缠，从而不敢敦促或帮助他人行使投票权”，保护公民不受恐吓地投票的重要性，超过了政府清查非公民投票的利益。禁令覆盖加利福尼亚、康涅狄格、佐治亚、密苏里、内华达、纽约、宾夕法尼亚、华盛顿和威斯康星九个州；法官将禁令暂缓至10月23日（周五）生效，以便联邦政府有时间上诉。这一裁决被视为特朗普政府今秋打击非公民投票行动遭遇的法律挫折。
Federal Judge Halts DHS Election-Related Operations: Nevada and Eight Other States Protected by Injunction Until Voting Ends
Judge Araceli Martinez-Olguin of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California issued a preliminary injunction on Wednesday, Oct. 21, barring the Department of Homeland Security from conducting election-related field operations in Nevada and eight other states that could sweep in U.S. citizens, with the injunction lasting until voting ends on Election Day. Nevada media reported the ruling on Oct. 24, citing the Nevada Current. The lawsuit was brought by the City of San Francisco, Santa Clara County, the California Nurses Association, National Nurses United and the Latino Vote Foundation, alleging that DHS sent armed personnel door to door to question residents about their voter status. The judge wrote that the evidence was sufficient to make people "objectively reasonably fear entanglement with law enforcement and thus refrain from urging or assisting others to exercise their right to vote," and that the importance of protecting citizens' ability to vote free from intimidation outweighed the government's interest in investigating noncitizen voting. The injunction covers California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin; the judge stayed its effect until Friday, Oct. 23, to allow the federal government time to appeal. The ruling is seen as a legal setback for the Trump administration's fall campaign against noncitizen voting.
