Six more charged in Los Angeles County noncitizen voting investigation
Federal prosecutors say the six lawful permanent residents registered and voted illegally, bringing the investigation total to 34 defendants.
- On Monday, federal prosecutors in Los Angeles charged six additional noncitizens with making false statements on naturalization applications after they allegedly registered and voted illegally in California elections.
- These charges are part of "Operation Protect the Vote," an ongoing federal effort that has now charged 34 individuals identified from a list of roughly 20,000 suspected noncitizen voters shared with state officials.
- The defendants, residing in the Antelope and San Fernando areas, include citizens from the Philippines, Mexico, Israel, Canada, and Iran who allegedly lied about their voting history to become naturalized American citizens.
- First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stated the office will "continue to arrest and prosecute those who threaten our democratic republic through unlawful vote dilution," with each defendant facing up to five years in federal prison if convicted.
- Federal authorities continue to urge California officials to verify citizenship statuses for thousands of individuals on voter rolls, though the Justice Department has not provided evidence establishing statewide registration numbers.
