Exclusive: DHS Plans to Launch Voter Fraud Investigation Surge Tuesday

HSI will pursue investigative leads and field interviews, while USCIS begins removal proceedings for suspected noncitizens, according to internal guidance.

  • Starting Tuesday, the Department of Homeland Security is launching a coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative across nine states, with Homeland Security Investigations agents conducting field interviews through mid-October.
  • Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has accelerated these efforts as part of President Donald Trump's broader election integrity crackdown, leveraging the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program to audit voter rolls.
  • While the department claims to have identified over 24,000 potential noncitizens through SAVE, internal records show the department confirmed just 185 in Nevada despite publicly claiming nearly 16,000.
  • Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs criticized the surge as "troubling" and a waste of taxpayer dollars, stating he learned of the federal initiative through media reports rather than direct outreach.
  • Midterm elections approach in November, raising concerns about the timing of these investigative steps, though the DHS is not legally bound by Justice Department policy that historically discourages overt actions near elections.
