More information from Gemini:

U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson issued a nationwide temporary restraining order on October 30, 2026, legally barring the Department of Justice (DOJ) from threatening or coercing state and local election officials.

The Ruling and Case Context

• The Injunction: Judge Thompson, a San Francisco-based federal judge, blocked the DOJ and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) from threatening election workers with criminal prosecution for processing ballots. The order prohibits the federal government from pressuring local officials to purge voter rolls, refuse ballots, or segregate votes cast by registered voters.
• The Basis: The ruling came in response to an emergency lawsuit filed by labor unions and civil rights groups, including the Service Employees International Union (SEIU) and the NAACP. The judge found that the federal government's pressure tactics likely violated the Voting Rights Act of 1965 by intimidating election workers and risking the disenfranchisement of lawful voters.
• Preceding Warnings: This order legally enforces previous stern warnings delivered by other federal judges. Earlier in the week, U.S. District Judge David Carter dismissed a separate DOJ attempt to force California to set aside 20,000 ballots, explicitly writing at the time that the federal government's "threats must stop".

Other judges who have ruled:

he other federal judges who have ruled on or are actively reviewing the Justice Department's recent election directives include:

District Court Judges

• U.S. District Judge David O. Carter: Based in Los Angeles, Judge Carter issued a forceful ruling on October 28, 2026, rejecting the DOJ’s attempt to compel California to segregate 20,000 ballots. He explicitly stated that the administration's actions "would wreak havoc" and warned the DOJ that its threats to election workers "must stop."

9th Circuit Court of Appeals Panel

On October 30, 2026, a split three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals upheld Judge Carter's decision in a 2-1 ruling:
• Judge Mark J. Bennett & Judge Gabriel P. Sanchez: Authored the majority opinion, agreeing that segregating the ballots was unfeasible and could cause "catastrophic effects on the entire system."
• Judge Patrick J. Bumatay: Dissented, arguing that California's refusal to separate the ballots undermined federal interests in preventing illegal voting.

Jackson did it. They have the pen. POTUS has the sword. McCarren-Walter --- Congress gave up some of their authority to POTUS--- to keep out any group of people from anywhere, out of our country for any reason and for any length of time. So applying that to Islam, he could allow none.

Of course the media, the left, the educators, would lose their minds. It would be such a treat--- Trump making that decision. Letting them go crazy for a while. And then....

Then having a National address. Reading first Art.3, defining "good behavior" and "under."

It would nail two birds with one stone. The demos in Congress. The Courts. Plus demo Mayors as the cherry on top.

Then reading the parts of McCarren-Walter.

What a night that would be. That would feel very good to him, I'm sure.

And to rub salt into it, he could turn around and read parts of the Quran to the nation. I would love that, personally. So would the rest of the world that is being trampled on by their traitorous globalist leaders who are destroying beautiful Europe.

1952 McCarren-Walter Immigration Act gives POTUS rights this clown judge is completely unaware of. Trump's E.O.s on election fraud embellish his authority. Pretty sure he's covered.

  Jea9, only activist judges ever stand in the way of President Trump. They need to be removed. Only judges who always comply with the wishes of the federal government will be retained.

  He can ignore them. They have no powers over POTUS. Besides, his EO's authority over election interference from his 1st term have never been rescinded.
- Paul Simmon > Jea9 October 31, 2026 at 1:04pm
  
  Jea9, that's also a great option. President Trump can ignore them. He can do whatever he wants and he can't even be taken to court for any actions he takes as POTUS. He should use this power.

  Jea9, right on. All this is conceivable and can be accomplished. The best part is defining "good behavior". President Trump could get rid of all opposition, have everyone submit to "good behavior", assume authority over the entire county and all her people. Can you imagine how great America would be? This would certainly save our Republic, our freedom and liberties.
- Jea9 > Paul Simmon October 31, 2026 at 5:54pm
  
  Paul, "Good" as applied to behavior, is nothing but a moral term. A term that the courts have led this nation away from. They try to reason with their natural mind and all it does is make them utter fools. I so want Trump to display and define this and more in front of the country and world. He could utterly destroy globalist bs as nothing can stand against real TRUTH.

  How about constitutional judges Paul, judges supposed to rule according to the constitution, not the wishes and whims of anyone. Even the president falls under that, and how good that is because Trump will not be president forever!
- Paul Simmon > ilona Trommler October 31, 2026 at 12:56pm
  
  Of course, Ilona. We are saying the same thing. President Trump is the only one who can be trusted with upholding the Constitution, which is why no judge should ever rule against the federal government today. If a judge does rule against the federal government, you correctly always call them an activist judge. Again, we are totally aligned here.
