Another Biden-appointed District Judge has halted key parts of the DHS’ non-citizen voter investigation in what appears to be a partisan protection of the Democratic Party. The court called the investigation into non-citizen voting an “unlawful voter initiative.” The ruling cannot be reversed before the election unless SCOTUS intervenes.

EXCERPT:
A Biden-appointed federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt key parts of its noncitizen-voter investigation in nine states — just days before the November 3 midterms.
The preliminary injunction targets election-related field operations and interviews when federal agents know, suspect or reasonably should suspect that a person is a U.S. citizen. It does not declare every investigation of unlawful noncitizen voting illegal.
That distinction matters. So does the timing.
Homeland Security reiterated its position Thursday after a new voter-fraud charge was announced in New York:
ANOTHER VOTER FRAUD CHARGE!
We cannot and will not allow the votes of American citizens to be cancelled out by non-citizens illegally voting in our elections. https://t.co/r43RmBG7lI

U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued the order Wednesday in California Nurses Association v. Mullin. The covered states are California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington and Wisconsin.
The court’s order says DHS launched its “Unlawful Voter Initiative” in August and later directed a surge of field investigations across those nine states. The judge found that plaintiffs were likely to succeed on a Voting Rights Act claim involving intimidation of citizens engaged in voter assistance and mobilization.
