Federal agents canvass neighborhoods to investigate alleged non-citizen voting

Agents from the Department of Homeland Security’s investigative branch have been knocking on doors across several states, asking occupants about their immigration status and whether they have ever voted or registered to vote. Posts on social media from the Northern California and Kansas City HSI offices highlighted the mission to enforce federal election law and emphasized that American elections are for citizens. In a related development, the Department of Justice disclosed a series of arrests in California linked to suspected voter fraud and said it is examining thousands of alleged illegal voting cases across the country.

DOJ officials described the issue as causing real damage to elections and to American citizens. The department also reported charging 28 non-citizens who were illegally registered, some of whom allegedly cast ballots. While the agency cites a potential 250,000 illegal registrations, election experts have questioned that estimate. Since the start of the second Trump administration, the Justice Department has filed 156 voting-fraud charges.
