DHS’s Mullin warns people who illegally vote will be hunted down
ICE said it will review voter records after the election and the Justice Department said federal prosecutors have charged about 240 people with voting-fraud offenses since Trump returned to office.
- On Tuesday, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the Department of Homeland Security issued Election Day warnings that anyone voting illegally will face prosecution, emphasizing that only American citizens should decide American elections.
- Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and the administration of President Trump have prioritized investigating non-citizen voting, recently announcing arrests for "unlawful voting" in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
- ICE stated on social media, "If you vote illegally, we will find you," while Mullin wrote on X that illegal voters will be "hunted down" and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
- Voting-Rights groups have challenged these efforts, arguing they risk voter intimidation and rely on unreliable data, while ICE noted that election administration remains primarily the responsibility of state and local officials.
- Amid expanded federal efforts to investigate suspected election offenses, the FBI separately urged voters to report any suspected crimes as part of broader federal jurisdiction.
