Newsom Spars with Trump-Appointed Prosecutor over 20,000 Suspected Noncitizens on Voter Rolls
The lawsuit follows charges against 28 noncitizens and a broader DOJ push for voter-registration data in dozens of jurisdictions.
- Los Angeles election officials admitted in federal court they have no independent way to verify voter citizenship beyond what voters attest. The registrar's office lacks systems to independently house citizenship information.
- The Justice Department filed a lawsuit seeking to remove more than 20,000 suspected non-citizens from California voter rolls. California officials maintain the state adheres to Federal Law, creating a legal dispute over verification methods.
- Federal authorities charged 28 non-citizens with election crimes, including fraudulent voter registration. Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter reported 113 people have faced similar charges across the country in recent weeks.
- County Supervisor Janice Hahn decried the arrests as "voter intimidation and a blatant attempt to undermine trust in our midterm elections." County Clerk Dean Logan pledged the county is prepared to deliver fair results.
- Federal officials plan to continue Operation Protect the Vote through November to prioritize election integrity. The Board authorized county attorneys to join litigation supporting free and fair elections, including contesting federal interference.
