Huh, interesting. Rocio Thrasher, 38-year-old Mexican, voted in the 2024 general election.

What we found

Supports. The U.S. Attorney's Office (DOJ primary release) states Rocio Thrasher, a 38-year-old Mexican citizen and lawful permanent resident since 2017, was charged with voting by an alien in a federal election and false statement of citizenship, and that the indictment alleges she voted in the November 2024 general election.[2]

Supports. AP reports that the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas announced charges against seven noncitizens, some of whom voted in the 2024 and 2018 general elections, as part of the Trump administration's focus on noncitizen voting.[1]

Supports. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office announced the arrest of Rocio Thrasher, a Mexican citizen, on charges of voting by an alien and false statements of citizenship in order to register to vote, alongside the U.S. Attorney's Office, FBI and HSI.[3]

Context. Multiple outlets (NBC DFW, Star-Telegram, Yahoo) repeat the same indictment details, and all of them post-date the charges; the charges are allegations and the defendants are presumed innocent.[4][5][6]
