Federal charges announced in Texas are part of broader Trump focus on noncitizen voting
Investigators said six of the seven were lawful permanent residents and 117 cases were referred for review after database checks.
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas charged seven noncitizens with illegally voting or falsely claiming citizenship as part of a broader Trump administration focus on noncitizen voting.
- President Donald Trump has pushed the Postal Service to restrict mail ballots to verified citizens, a plan the Supreme Court rejected Monday while the Justice Department sued for voter data in 30 states.
- Those charged, ranging in age from 20 to 69, hold citizenship in Mexico, India, Nigeria, and Congo. Some voted or attempted to vote in the 2024 and 2018 general elections.
- Attorney General Ken Paxton, running for Senate against Democrat James Talarico, received 117 referred cases for investigation after cross-checking federal databases with passport information and other agencies.
- The seven charges represent a minute fraction of nearly 18 million registered voters in Texas. Research shows noncitizen voting remains rare, though the Trump administration claims it is widespread.
