The Justice Department has charged multiple foreign nationals with illegally voting or registering to vote in U.S. elections ahead of the 2026 midterms.
Federal authorities announced charges against foreign nationals accused of illegally voting or registering to vote in U.S. federal elections. The cases span several states, including North Carolina, Pennsylvania, New York, California, Nevada, and Florida, and involve mostly lawful permanent residents along with at least one undocumented immigrant. The arrests are part of a broader Trump administration push to audit voter rolls and pursue noncitizen voting before the November 3 midterm elections.

The split, in one line
Outlets agree on the arrests but split on scope and meaning: some frame a nationwide DOJ crackdown with 48 charged, others a single Israeli green card holder or a Syracuse woman, while one stresses 10 in North Carolina.
