Voting arrests of Illegals

ICE and DOJ announce fresh noncitizen voting arrests days before midterms

Federal immigration and justice officials announced dozens of arrests and new charges against noncitizens accused of illegal voting, a crackdown officials say protects ballot integrity just days before the midterms.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement said Thursday it had arrested dozens of illegal immigrants nationwide on alleged voter fraud charges, many accused of casting ballots they had no legal right to cast. The Justice Department, on the same day, said it charged another 18 people in North Carolina for illegally voting, bringing that state’s total to 30.

Acting ICE Director David Venturella and acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter both framed the cases as straightforward law enforcement: noncitizens cannot vote in federal elections, and when investigators build a case, charges follow.

ICE released 18 example cases from the nationwide sweep. Three of those names put a face on the pattern officials say they keep finding.
