The Justice Department sued St. Paul and Portland on Oct. 15 over city laws that bar federal officers, including ICE agents, from wearing masks and require them to display ID. DOJ says the rules violate the Supremacy Clause, and its Portland complaint quotes the city’s own attorney warning the law would likely be held unconstitutional. The cities have not yet responded in court.

The Justice Department sued California on Oct. 15, alleging more than 20,000 likely noncitizens are registered to vote and have been mailed ballots for the Nov. 3 election. It wants those ballots set aside until citizenship is verified. L.A. County says it refused to open the USB drive of names the government sent with a handwritten password. The allegations have not been tested in court.
