US Politics · Federal crackdown on alleged noncitizen voting escalates with California arrests

The US Department of Justice has charged 28 green card holders in California, accusing them of fraudulently registering to vote and casting illegal ballots. The arrests, with 11 people currently in custody, mark an escalation in federal efforts against alleged noncitizen voting, coming days after the DOJ sued California to block the state from tabulating certain ballots in the upcoming November midterm elections.
