Tribunal de Apelaciones rechaza intento de Trump de levantar bloqueo USPS

El 10 de septiembre, el Tribunal de Apelaciones del Primer Circuito rechazó la solicitud del Departamento de Justicia, en nombre de la administración Trump, para levantar la orden judicial que impide la implementación de una nueva norma del Servicio Postal que exige la aprobación previa del diseño de los sobres de boletas por correo, argumentando que la norma probablemente vulnera la Constitución y podría privar a los votantes de su derecho. El tribunal confirmó la conclusión del juzgado de distrito de que la regulación excede la autoridad del organismo. El Departamento de Justicia había presentado previamente una petición ante la Corte Suprema para restaurar la norma, alegando su necesidad antes de las elecciones de mitad de mandato de noviembre.

La jueza federal Indira Talwani emitió varias órdenes de restricción y sus extensiones, citando la falta de tiempo para los estados y preocupaciones constitucionales. El conflicto se produce tras advertencias de un denunciante anónimo de que el portal en línea, desarrollado apresuradamente para procesar boletas ausentes, no estaba suficientemente probado y podría provocar retrasos masivos, y funcionarios de alto nivel del USPS habían expresado objeciones al borrador de la normativa.

Resumen

The claim that on September 10, 2026, the First Circuit Court of Appeals rejected the administration's bid to overturn a district court injunction on a Postal Service mail-ballot design rule has insufficient evidence. The claim that on September 3, 2026, the Justice Department requested the Supreme Court to suspend a district court order blocking a Postal Service regulation on mail-in ballots is partially confirmed. The claim that on September 1, 2026, an anonymous federal employee warned about potential technical failures in the Postal Service’s mail ballot processing portal lacks sufficient evidence. The claim that the First Circuit Court cited constitutional concerns and potential voter disenfranchisement in rejecting the administration's bid also has insufficient evidence.
