With little evidence, the Trump administration continues to push the narrative that noncitizens are unlawfully voting. UPI reports that the U.S. Department of Justice has sued California for allegedly not reviewing a list of noncitizens the administration says were sent mail-in ballots for the November election.

The lawsuit comes after the U.S. Deputy Attorney General just two days ago demanded California election officials access a "flash drive he said had the names of thousands of possible non-citizens believed to be on the state's voter registration list."

In 100th lawsuit against Trump, California challenges immigration arrests near courthouses

Almost simultaneously, California sued the Trump administration over its immigration operations at or near state courthouses. Here is a portion of the Attorney General's office press release:

"California Attorney General Rob Bonta today marked his 100th lawsuit against the Trump Administration since it began on January 20, 2025, just 21 months ago. This regrettable milestone comes as the President continues to break our laws with a frequency and intensity surpassing even the lawlessness that characterized his first term in office. Within hours of being sworn into office, President Trump attempted to rewrite the Constitution by issuing an illegal executive order that sought to end the birthright citizenship promised under the Fourteenth Amendment. Attorney General Bonta filed California’s first lawsuit against the President less than 24 hours later and took this fight all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court — and won. In the following months, Attorney General Bonta has returned to court to stop the President’s unlawful federal funding cuts for education, research, housing, healthcare, and infrastructure; get the National Guard off our streets; and defend constitutional rights like the right to vote. All of these actions clearly exceeded the President’s authority and ignored the basic constitutional framework our founders crafted with care and precision. Attorney General Bonta's 100th lawsuit, filed today, once again challenges the Trump Administration’s undermining of the rule of law and trampling over longstanding principles of justice — seeking to block Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) policy and practice of carrying out civil immigration enforcement in and around state courthouses."

`For the 100th time since President Trump returned to office, we’re going to court. This is a sobering milestone — and a testament to the unrelenting ferociousness with which the President is willing to steamroll over the law, our Constitution, and the fundamental values of our government,' said Attorney General Bonta. `In California, we’ve been repeated targets of this Administration. He’s gone after our funding, taken over our streets, and systematically made our communities less safe. These 100 lawsuits are a symptom, a reflection of what we’re collectively up against. The President’s epidemic of lawbreaking is the disease. No one should look at these 100 cases and think this is normal. No one should look at these 100 cases and think we want to be here today. This isn’t a fight we chose. But when the President breaks the law and goes after our state, we’ll meet him in court, each and every time.'"
