🚨BREAKING: The DOJ sued California for sending mail ballots to 20k people the Trump administration claims are likely noncitizens. The lawsuit comes after the DOJ threatened legal action if the state did not set aside cast ballots of those flagged until their citizenship status is confirmed.

The lawsuit accuses California of knowingly facilitating noncitizen voting and asked a federal court to stop the state from counting ballots the DOJ believes may have gone to noncitizens.

From the complaint: "Thus, months before California started sending vote-by-mail ballots...the Federal Government alerted the California Secretary of State that a preliminary review of California’s voter role revealed that numerous likely noncitizens were registered to vote in California."

California officials heavily pushed back on the administration's demands, saying there was no legal authority for its request. Read the full story:
