DOJ Charges 48 Noncitizens with Election-Related Crimes

Federal prosecutors say nearly all defendants were lawful permanent residents accused of voting illegally or making false citizenship claims in federal elections.

  • On Monday, The Justice Department announced criminal charges against 48 noncitizens across five states for "illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and related election crimes."
  • Federal law strictly restricts voting in federal elections to American citizens, prompting the Trump administration to intensify prosecution efforts ahead of midterm elections.
  • California federal courts handled the largest share with 28 individuals charged across four judicial districts, while prosecutors in Pennsylvania, Florida, New York, and Nevada brought additional cases.
  • Noncitizens convicted of unlawful voting face statutory prison sentences, monetary fines, and immigration consequences including potential deportation or denial of citizenship.
  • While the Trump administration characterizes noncitizen voting as a "major problem," data shows such incidents remain "extremely rare" in national elections.
