A federal judge on Monday denied requests from the Trump administration and Republican-led states to lift a temporary block on key parts of a U.S. Postal Service rule implementing President Donald Trump’s executive order intended to secure federal elections.
U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani, an appointee of former President Barack Obama, left her 14-day temporary restraining order in place as the administration pursues an appeal before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 1st Circuit. Talwani has scheduled an expedited hearing on Thursday over whether to impose a longer-lasting preliminary injunction.
