A federal judge has ordered the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to rescind guidelines set earlier this year that limited late and extra trips to increase timely mail deliveries, especially election mail.
Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District Court for the District of Columbia, in an order issued on Oct. 27 (pdf), granted an emergency motion by plaintiffs against President Donald Trump to enforce Sullivan’s previous injunction (pdf) that blocked Postmaster General Louis DeJoy from enforcing a USPS late and extra trips policy, which was blamed for reducing on-time delivery rates.
