ICE Obtained Local Voter Records During Citizenship Investigations
Federal agents obtained voter files in two counties as DHS pushed stricter penalties for noncitizens found voting illegally, including deportation.
- Agents from ICE Homeland Security Investigations obtained personal voter files from officials in Webb County, Texas, and Forsyth County, North Carolina, as part of a federal probe into noncitizen voting.
- President Donald Trump directed the Department of Homeland Security to prioritize election integrity; a March 2025 executive order mandated stricter penalties, including deportation, for noncitizens accused of voting illegally.
- Webb County Election Administrator Jose Castillo provided the requested data but noted he has seen only two instances of illegal immigrant voting out of more than 150,000 voters in four years.
- Democracy Forward Senior Oversight Counsel Dan McGrath criticized the effort, stating "Using ICE to pursue a problem this rare should concern everyone" and that Americans deserve transparency on the administration's actions.
- The Heritage Foundation's database documents just 100 cases of noncitizen voting since 1982, yet this multi-agency effort expands ahead of November midterm elections.
