A federal judge on Tuesday night ordered the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) to immediately reverse limitations on mail collection that had been put in place by Postmaster General Louis DeJoy, commanding the agency to inform workers of the court's changes by Wednesday morning.

Judge Emmet Sullivan of the District Court for the District of Columbia granted an emergency motion against President Trump, according to the detailed order obtained by Politico. Sullivan granted the emergency motion to enforce and monitor compliance with the preliminary injunction issued late last month that prevented the administration from enforcing DeJoy’s operational changes.

The agency has until 9 a.m. on Wednesday to inform workers that DeJoy’s guidelines, implemented in July, limiting late and extra trips to collect mail, are rescinded.

The news comes as a record number of Americans have already cast their ballots for the Nov. 3 election through the mail as a safety precaution during the coronavirus pandemic.
