Background
The California Attorney General led a Coalition of state attorneys general that joined as a fifth plaintiff group in the litigation against President Trump's 31 March 2026 mail ballot executive order, which directed DHS and SSA to compile citizenship verification lists and restricted mail ballot distribution.
The California AG office is one of the most active in the country on federal executive power challenges, having been a plaintiff in dozens of federal lawsuits during the Trump administration. Its Coalition role brings additional state law resources and standing grounds to the litigation.
