A federal judge on Tuesday blocked the US Postal Service from restricting mail-in voting.
US District Judge Indira Talwani, an Obama appointee, expanded her previous block on President Trump's executive order on mail-in voting.
The Boston-based Judge previously blocked President Trump’s March 2025 executive order, specifically his attempt to create a federal voter list.
In March 2025, President Trump signed Executive Order 14248: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections.
“Free, fair, and honest elections unmarred by fraud, errors, or suspicion are fundamental to maintaining our constitutional Republic. The right of American citizens to have their votes properly counted and tabulated, without illegal dilution, is vital to determining the rightful winner of an election,” the executive order said.
“Under the Constitution, State governments must safeguard American elections in compliance with Federal laws that protect Americans’ voting rights and guard against dilution by illegal voting, discrimination, fraud, and other forms of malfeasance and error. Yet the United States has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that, for example, prohibit States from counting ballots received after Election Day or prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote,” the executive order said.
“Several Federal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 1015 and 611, prohibit foreign nationals from registering to vote or voting in Federal elections,” Trump said.
Judge Talwani previously said, “The Constitution does not grant the President any specific powers over elections.”
On Tuesday, Judge Talwani blocked the US Postal Service from implementing Trump's executive order that would make mail-in ballots more secure.

Indira Talwani. I think her forefathers (maybe forepeople) signed the Declaration of Independence.
Absolutely ridiculous...
Another friggin’ freeloading, foreign anchor baby boinking the American people. Her azz should be in Inja. Where it belongs.
How the Actual F does some Boston judge get to tell the entire country how to behave.
Afterwards, getting her hooves trimmed and a good brushing down.
Arrest the judge for treason snd START a trial. Now!
And their ancestors arrived at Plymouth Rock on the Mayflower!
That doesn’t look like an “Indira.”
Because nothing is done to put a stop to such horseshit. Nothing.
These judges make the Judicial system a pathetic joke.
How dare this dusky muddy guttersnipe usurp our political system!
More proof that:
The only good foreign communist is a dead foreign communist...
It is our duty as citizens to help, with prejudice, everyone be as good as possible...
If we are unwilling to do our duty, maybe we should not complain...
No, but the Executive has Constitutional power to enforce the laws passed by Congress! If the Congress passed laws baring foreigners from voting, the Executive must enforce them!
The President runs the US postal system, not the individual States, not the Feral Judges.
Puppet Judges are are a core problem.
This judge & others I’m sure who do this sort of thing need to be eliminated from the system. They are supposed to be getting at the TRUTH. So she was an Obama appointee...that should tell us all something.
Agree she’s not about law only party agendas.
