Trump admin files ‘long shot’ lawsuit after California wouldn’t open a thumb drive of alleged non-citizens
October 16, 2026
Notre Dame Law School Professor Derek Muller said the lawsuit, at best, is a “long shot.” The Justice Department claims in its complaint that the Constitution’s Supremacy Clause gives it the ability to go to court to challenge how California has allegedly stood in the way of the Trump administration’s ability to enforce the federal ban on non-citizens. It’s true the Supremacy Clause says when federal law and state policy are at odds, the federal law prevails. But the issue in the new DOJ lawsuit, according to Muller, is that there is no federal law dictating how states should go about verifying the citizenship status of voters on their rolls.
