Dozens of illegal aliens arrested in nationwide voter fraud crackdown

WASHINGTON — ICE announced the arrest of dozens of individuals in connection with alleged voter fraud and election-related offenses across the United States, including numerous cases of aliens admitting to unlawfully registering to vote or casting ballots in American elections.

“These arrests, carried out in coordination with our federal, state and local law enforcement partners, are the result of careful, methodical investigations,” said acting ICE Director David J. Venturella. “American elections must be conducted in accordance with the law, and allegations of illegal voting deserve our undivided attention. When the facts support criminal charges, we pursue them. Every eligible voter deserves an election process that follows the law.”
