DHS claims over 250,000 noncitizens are registered to vote across four states.
The Department of Homeland Security announced it identified over 250,000 potential noncitizens on voter rolls in California, New Jersey, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent letters to election officials in those states requesting they develop plans to remove ineligible registrants. California officials rejected the claims, stating DHS provided no evidence and that the state has not shared its voter rolls with the federal government.

The right frames the DHS findings as exposing a serious threat to election integrity. The left calls it a political stunt built on unsubstantiated numbers. Mainstream outlets now emphasize the lack of supporting evidence and state resistance to federal data demands.
