DOJ orders some California counties to set aside ballots from suspected noncitizens

The DOJ has ordered several California counties to set aside ballots from suspected noncitizens. This action represents the latest escalation in an ongoing legal battle between California and President Donald Trump's Department of Justice. The federal agency has recently focused its efforts on the state to root out noncitizen voting in preparation for the upcoming midterm elections. This directive aims to ensure that only eligible citizens participate in the electoral process across the affected jurisdictions.
