DOJ gives California 48 hours to review list of possible noncitizens on voter rolls
Fox News ^ | 10/15/2026 | Anders Hagstrom

The Justice Department is threatening California with possible legal action after it says the state mailed ballots to noncitizens ahead of the midterm elections.

The DOJ sent a letter on Tuesday to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber informing her that federal officials provided Los Angeles County election officials with a list of names of individuals who authorities believe to be noncitizens.

Acting Deputy U.S. Attorney Trent McCotter warned that the state has 48 hours to confirm whether any of the individuals on the list were mailed ballots for the November 3 election. That deadline will expire later on Thursday.

"If you cannot implement this process by then, given the ongoing federal election, the United States will have no choice but to seek emergency relief," the letter states.

Weber released a statement protesting the federal demands on Wednesday, connecting it to earlier efforts by the DOJ to expunge noncitizens from California's voter rolls.

"In July of this year, President Trump and DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin made (still) unsubstantiated claims that California had 190,000 noncitizens on its voter rolls. Given the many high-profile examples of states purging U.S. citizens from their voter rolls based on DHS/SAVE data, SOS immediately requested written information about their methodology and data sources to back up their claims. They refused and provided California with nothing," Weber said in a statement.

Unless people get arrested they won’t care. What’s the worst that can happen under a lawsuit? They won’t personally be held liable so they don’t care.

I’d bet the State tracks every one of them. I am reminded of when Judicial Watch sued Los Angeles and the Court ordered the County to remove 1.2 MILLION bogus registrations.

To my knowledge, they never did.

Isn’t it a federal offense to use the US Mail for illegal activities?

I predict some judge will forestall this order and after the election it will go away.

They did, but they dragged it out for 5 years until 2024.

Unless you are willing to perp walk any defiance on this, this is virtue signaling. It is individuals who defy this — go get them.

Pick your poison—blacks playing knockdown on the streets in white communities or illegal aliens colonizing neighborhoods.

If you file a lawsuit before the election ...... “The election has mot been held yet, therefore no harm has occurred. Standing is denied. Case dismissed.” If you file after the election ..... “The election is over. The voters have spoken. Standing is denied. Case dismissed.”

Ok, so they "review" the list. Then what? NOTHING.

The Dodgers are about to be swept - in about 10 hours. No more reason for illegals to hang out.

Hasn’t a federal judge stepped in yet to stop all of this in its tracks?

Sad to say but don’t we all know by now that’s exactly what’s going to happen?

“getting obama challenged” ..... That would be racist.
