Did the Trump administration ask the Supreme Court to pause a block on USPS mail-ballot rules?

Yes. On Sunday, September 6, 2026, the Trump administration filed a new emergency application asking the Supreme Court to put on hold U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani’s September 4 preliminary injunction that bars parts of a U.S. Postal Service rule on mail-in ballots.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, who handles emergency appeals from Massachusetts, directed the challengers to respond by 4 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, September 9. Until the Court acts, the injunction keeps key parts of the USPS plan from taking effect in the challenging states while litigation continues.
