What we found

Supports. The U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of North Carolina announced on 2026-10-15 that a federal grand jury indicted 10 noncitizens for illegally voting in the 2024 election, and federal agents arrested the defendants.[3]

Supports. The Justice Department charged 28 people in a California sweep (published 2026-10-19) with making false statements on naturalization applications and submitting fraudulent voter registrations, targeting alleged noncitizen voters.[1]

Context. A Reuters analysis of federal court data (published 2026-07-19) found only 129 federal prosecutions under the 1996 'voting by aliens' statute and no coordinated effort to influence elections, indicating the problem is small in scale, though not nonexistent.[2]
