Man impersonated green card holder to vote, then he reported him, DOJ says
Prosecutors say Sun impersonated a lawful permanent resident, cast a ballot in his name and triggered immigration proceedings for the man and his wife.
- On Wednesday, federal authorities arrested Yupseng Sun, 33, of Andover, Massachusetts, for allegedly impersonating a former roommate to fraudulently register and vote in the 2024 presidential election.
- Prosecutors allege the scheme stemmed from a personal vendetta against his former landlord, J.L., after Sun was arrested for assaulting J.L.'s daughter in 2023, causing tensions between the roommates.
- Sun allegedly registered J.L. to vote in October 2024, cast a ballot in his name, and later sent anonymous tips to federal authorities falsely accusing J.L. of illegal voting.
- Forged documents submitted by Sun led immigration officials to confiscate J.L. and his wife Y.L.'s green cards in June 2024, though an immigration judge restored their status in January 2026.
- Conviction could bring Sun up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, while the Department of Justice continues deploying election monitors to jurisdictions like Massachusetts to ensure voting integrity.
