The federal judge overseeing the DOJ’s case against California and the effort to force the state to remove 20,000 ballots given to non-citizens, issued DOJ attorneys a warning on Tuesday during a hearing.

The Justice Department recently sued California and Los Angeles County over 20,000 suspected non-citizens registered to vote who have already been mailed ballots.

On Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed the Justice Department’s emergency appeal to remove 20,000 ballots given to non-citizens in California.

A three-judge panel ruled 2-1 that they lacked jurisdiction over the appeal because the lower court did not have adequate opportunity to consider the DOJ’s application for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO).

The three judges included: Majority: Mark Bennett (Trump) Gabriel Sanchez (Biden) – Dissent: Patrick Bumatay (Trump).

On Monday, the Ninth Circuit Court denied the government’s appeal because the DOJ improperly skipped over the district court judge so the DOJ was forced to attend a hearing on Tuesday with Judge David Carter.

On Tuesday evening, US District Judge David Carter, a Clinton appointee, warned First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli and told that it would be wise that “any threats” to California elected employees “cease immediately.”

Bill Essayli previously threatened California elections officials with legal consequences if they unlawfully tabulated ballots.

“Under 18 U.S.C. §§ 611 and 2, officials who knowingly tabulate unlawful ballots risk aiding and abetting a federal offense. The Justice Department urges the County and the Secretary of State to temporarily segregate the flagged ballots pending citizenship verification or face legal consequences,” Bill Essayli said.

Judge Carter said he will issue a ruling on Wednesday.
