The claim is supported: DHS/HSI and FBI announced the arrest of ten people in North Carolina for illegal voting on October 14–15, and DOJ announced indictments of ten individuals, as reported by the DHS release, FBI Director Patel's post, and the News & Observer.
What was said
… Here's another one. What is this, number five or six, Justin, just in the last three weeks? Another one of what? Voter fraud arrest? I thought this wasn't happening. The doomer told you that. I'm sorry you fell for the slop. This is another one. The FBI, HSI, and DOJ are announcing arrests and indictments of ten individuals, including one illegal alien and nine other citizens, accused of illegal voting in North Carolina.

The Dan Bongino Show · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. DHS (primary) reports that a joint HSI and FBI investigation led to the arrest of ten non-citizens, including one illegal alien, for illegally voting in North Carolina elections, with arrests on October 14 and 15.[1]
Supports. FBI Director Kash Patel's October 15 post announced that the FBI, HSI, and DOJ were announcing arrests and indictments of 10 individuals accused of illegally voting in the 2024 North Carolina election.[3]
Supports. The News & Observer reports that U.S. Attorney W. Ellis Boyle held a press conference announcing indictments of 10 individuals accused of illegally voting as noncitizens in North Carolina's 2024 election, two weeks before the later 18-person indictment.[4]
Contradicts. No source contradicts the core claim that the FBI, HSI, and DOJ announced arrests and indictments of ten people in North Carolina accused of illegal voting.
Context. A separate DOJ announcement on October 29 charged 18 more people in North Carolina, bringing the statewide total to 30; this is additional to the ten-person announcement and does not contradict it.[2][5]
