More Illegal Aliens Discovered Voting Illegally in US Elections

Evidence mounts of noncitizens reaching voter rolls, casting ballots as DOJ speeds crackdown

Trump DOJ has secured about two dozen noncitizen voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months, with about another 90 more cases under investigation.

A small town Kansas mayor born in Mexico. A Filipino senior citizen living in Hawaii. Two Pakistani men residing in New Jersey. An Aussie in Louisiana. And a Chinese student studying at the University of Michigan. They all have one thing in common.

Each has been charged in the last year with illegally voting in U.S. federal elections as foreigners, part of a sudden wave of prosecutions led by the Trump Justice Department for a crime that used to be among the rarest in the federal court system.

The Trump Justice Department has secured about two dozen non-citizens voting arrests, prosecutions or convictions in the last few months alone, with about another 90 more cases under investigation, officials told Just the News. And all 50 states were sent notices this month that election officials can and will be prosecuted too if they allow non-citizens to vote.

"It isn't just bad policy to let non-citizens vote in federal elections, it's a crime. And this Department of Justice will intend to prosecute that crime if these election officials, having been informed that they are non-citizens on the voter rolls, knowingly allow those people to vote, enable their enrollment on the voter rolls, are passive in the face of this knowledge, etc. This is not some idle threat," Assistant Attorney General for Ciril Rights Harmeet Dhillon told the Just the News, No Noise television show.

DOJ officials have found three major problems in policing states' voter rolls ahead of the 2026 election: hundreds of thousands of dead people still eligible to vote, tens of thousands of illegal aliens on the rolls and scores of foreigners having gone beyond registering to, in fact, vote in a federal election, which is illegal.

Dhillon, the top election cop inside the DOJ, believes the numbers of foreigners illicitly voting in elections is probably higher but has been frustrated that U.S. Attorney offices across the country haven't made illegal voting a larger priority until just recently.

"We are trying to empty an ocean with a teaspoon because there isn't a culture of U.S. attorneys going after these," she explained.

That's changing with the sudden explosion of cases.

The left is shrieking (as usual) about the possibility that state election officials who turn a blind eye to illegal alien voting might be arrested themselves.

This is PBS so expect bias.

DOJ threatens to arrest state election officials if noncitizens vote

The Department of Justice is threatening to arrest more than a dozen state election officials if a single vote is cast in their states by a noncitizen. The threat was part of a letter giving election officials five days to detail how they will comply with laws on noncitizens voting. Amna Nawaz discussed more with Jessica Huseman of Votebeat, who obtained the letter.

Amna Nawaz:

The Department of Justice is threatening top election officials in more than a dozen states with arrest if even a single vote is cast in their states by a noncitizen. The threats detailed in a letter stating it's illegal for noncitizens to vote and giving elections officials five days to detail how they will comply with federal law.

It's worth noting that noncitizens voting, as well as election fraud in general, is exceedingly rare in this country, with just a handful of reported cases, even in databases kept by conservative legal groups. The letter was obtained by Votebeat.

White supremacist groups are also very, very rare but the left seems keenly interested in stopping them.

Jessica Huseman, Editorial Director, Votebeat:

All of the states got the letter, which that was not initially obvious when this was reported for the first time.

We heard from several states all at once that had gotten it. There were several states that couldn't actually find the letter because the Trump administration sent it to things like info@secretaryofstate.gov for some of these Web sites. So they had to go hunt it down.

But, yes, all 50 states have gotten them. And the letter essentially reminds election administrators that noncitizen voting is illegal and says that there are criminal penalties associated with knowingly allowing a noncitizen to vote.

Of course, that is not new information to election officials. And all of the election officials that I spoke to about this yesterday didn't seem particularly concerned.

Maybe they should be.
