Federal prosecutors have charged a Honduran national with voter fraud in California. This individual allegedly registered to vote under a false identity and participated in multiple elections. Reports indicate that the suspect obtained a voter registration card through a gym membership. This case raises questions about voter identification laws.
Another non-citizen, Anthony Tyrone Higgs, who entered the U.S. during President Gerald Ford’s administration on a green card, voted unlawfully in the 2020 election. Officials have initiated deportation proceedings due to his criminal record.
This alien was a guest in our country who forfeited his right to be in the U.S. when he committed these violent crimes and voted in the 2020 election,
stated White House spokeswoman Lauren Bis. Authorities have confirmed the illegal voting activity, resulting in his arrest and plans for removal.
Higgs was detained in Decatur, Georgia by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), a division within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Since his admission to the U.S. in 1976, Higgs accumulated numerous charges, including armed robbery, domestic violence, and assault on a police officer.
DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin commented on the situation stating, On top of all of that, he illegally voted in the 2020 election.
DHS alleges that over a quarter-million non-citizens might be registered to vote in four key states.
Recent actions by ICE include the sentencing of Colombian illegal immigrant Carlos Jaramillo-Grajales, who was found guilty of identity theft for voting illegally over 20 years. Additionally, cases involving Slovakian and Australian nationals accused of voting fraud in various states have emerged.
Mauritanian national Mahady Sacko was charged with voter fraud in Philadelphia by a joint operation between ICE and FBI. His illegal voting activities date back to 2008, despite existing removal orders.
In Higgs’ case, Mullin expressed gratitude for ICE’s efforts to ensure his removal from the U.S. and protect the integrity of American elections.
