A federal judge has blocked key provisions of President Donald Trump's executive orders related to election and education policies. The court halted the administration's requirement for proof of citizenship to register to vote, a measure intended to prevent non-citizen voting and enhance election security. The judge also blocked efforts to condition federal election funding on states' compliance with these citizenship requirements. Additionally, the court stopped the Trump administration's push to cut funding to public schools that implement diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) programs.

Oregon and California have sued the administration over threats to withdraw school funds tied to DEI policies, despite California's Proposition 209, which prohibits racial discrimination and affirmative action in public schools. The rulings were issued by different federal judges, including Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly and US District Judge Stephanie Gallagher, who has faced scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest related to her husband's political appointments. These decisions represent judicial pushback against several of the Trump administration's recent executive orders on voting and education.
