Live from NPR News in Washington, on Ryland Barton, a federal judge has found...
Postal Service violated a court order blocking it from carrying out President Trump's
“order to restrict mail-in voting for the midterm elections, as NPR's Hansella Wong reports”
that ruling comes as the legal fight over Trump's order is heating up again in the courts. The Supreme Court handed President Trump a temporary win this week, by pausing one of the rulings blocking the U.S. Postal Service from carrying out his directives in about half of the states, but the high court did not pause a nationwide block on work by U.S. PS.
Now a federal judge in Boston has found that U.S. P.S. violated that block by releasing last week a finalized plan for delivering mail-in-bounds only to people on voter lists that the states would have to turn over to the mailing agency. We should note U.S. P.S. is financial supporter of NPR. This legal fight is now heading towards what may end up being its final phase.
Voting rights and democratic groups are making requests for new court orders that block the postal services finalize plan, and with a start of mail-in-boding for the midterm elections weeks away, there may not be time for Trump's order to be fully carried out. On Zila Wong and P.R. News.

provided by eyes to the deportation data project at UC Berkeley and UCLA. The project's co-director, Graham Blair, says the uptick is due to a change in tactics.
