1 That was the en banc panel. The full court will kill it then pigeon hole the case so it doesn't get scheduled for appeal. Typical MO of the liberal circuits.

2 9th Circuit block on California noncitizen voter probe lifted, then restored in legal boomerang

A federal appeals court briefly lifted a block on the Trump administration’s efforts to investigate alleged voting by noncitizens in California, then reversed course hours later, sending the dispute to the full 11-judge 9th Circuit for rehearing.

Earlier Monday night, a three-judge panel granted the Justice Department’s request to pause a temporary restraining order issued by a San Francisco federal judge. That order had barred the administration from making further requests to set aside ballots under the warning of prosecution of state and local election officials who declined.

The panel said the government was likely to prevail in arguing that its requests and criminal investigations were core executive functions.

Hours later, the full 9th Circuit vacated the ruling and ordered the case reheard by all 11 active judges, according to the court’s order. The move restored the district court’s restrictions while the full court considers the dispute.

"The TRO issued by a San Francisco judge purporting to restrict DOJ investigations into election officials has been appropriately lifted," First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli wrote on X before the temporary restraining order was restored. "Conducting criminal investigations is a core function of the executive branch, not the judiciary."

The case against investigating allege noncitizen voting was brought by labor unions and civil rights groups, including the NAACP and the League of United Latin American Citizens. They argued that DOJ and Homeland Security letters to election officials, which warned of potential criminal liability over ballots linked to suspected noncitizens, amounted to intimidation.
