Multiple October 26–27, 2026 sources, including a U.S. Attorney's Office press release, identify Neil Floyd as acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington, so the claim held on 2026-10-27. However, an October 1 AP report says a judge reinstated Roger Rogoff as the district's U.S. attorney, which conflicts with Floyd's title and is not reconciled by the sources.
This claim is about the present, so it is judged as of the day it was checked.

unDivided with Brandi Kruse · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. A U.S. Attorney's Office press release dated October 26, 2026 quotes 'Acting U.S. Attorney Neil Floyd' announcing the noncitizen voter findings.[2]
Supports. Several news reports from October 26–27 describe Neil Floyd as acting U.S. Attorney for the Western District of Washington at a press conference that day.[3][4][5][6]
Contradicts. An October 1 AP report says a judge found the firing of court-appointed U.S. attorney Roger Rogoff unlawful and reinstated him as U.S. attorney for the Western District of Washington, which conflicts with Floyd holding that post in late October.[1]
Context. Sources describe Floyd as acting U.S. attorney for Western Washington, while Pete Serrano is first assistant for Eastern Washington; the claim's unqualified 'the acting U.S. Attorney' reads as Floyd's title, which the post itself used.[3][7]
