A federal judge in Massachusetts refused to lift a temporary order preventing the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) from further implementing President Donald Trump’s executive order attacking mail voting.
U.S. District Court Judge Indira Talwani issued a temporary restraining order (TRO) last week, which the Department of Justice (DOJ) and a dozen Republican states soon after sought to appeal. The defendants asked Talwani to suspend her own TRO while that appeal was heard.
But in her order Monday, Talwani noted that federal judicial procedures do not normally allow parties to appeal a TRO. Neither the DOJ nor the red states have filed an appeal with the 1st Circuit Court yet.
