The investigations come as concerns grow over noncitizens on state voters rolls and the potential for voter fraud in the midterm elections.
With a little more than two months to go before November’s midterm elections, the Department of Homeland Security has opened an intensive election fraud investigation in at least nine states, according to internal Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) guidance obtained by CNN.A DHS spokesperson said HSI cannot comment on active investigations. The official did say that the investigations unit, a division of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “is actively rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found.”
“HSI is committed to restoring integrity to our election systems and ensuring that American citizens and only American citizens are electing American leaders,” the spokesperson said Tuesday in an email responding to The Federalist’s request for comment.
Restoring election integrity has been a tall order amid sagging voter confidence in the system, dirty voter rolls in states across the country, and the refusal by Democrat-led states to release their voter rolls for auditing by federal officials. The “coordinated voter fraud surge initiative” comes as concern rises over noncitizens showing up in voter registration databases — and casting ballots in federal elections.
‘Zero Evidence?’
On Tuesday, HSI launched a coordinated criminal voter fraud “surge” aimed at pursuing investigative leads, conducting field interviews, and supporting timely prosecutorial review, the guidance states, according to CNN. Investigators will conduct the surge through mid-October in California, Connecticut, Georgia, Missouri, Nevada, New York, Pennsylvania, Washington, and Wisconsin.
The left-leaning St. Louis Post Dispatch posted a seething editorial in June blasting Missouri’s Secretary of State for following federal law and releasing the Show Me State’s voters rolls to the DOJ. As cases of election/voter fraud continue to rise, the leftist Dispatch clung to the false assertion that there is “of course, zero evidence or even indication that illegal noncitizens voting virtually ever happens.”
Oh, it happens. Much more frequently than the lying corporate media like to admit.
In its statement to The Federalist, DHS noted multiple voter fraud arrests, including charges filed in March against a Mauritanian illegal alien accused of illegally voting in U.S. elections since 2008. Last month, a criminal illegal alien from Colombia was sentenced to three years in a federal prison for committing identity theft to vote in several elections, including the 2020 presidential election. On Tuesday, Shonda Lou Barnes, city manager for the Town of Mannsville, Oklahoma, was arrested on voter fraud charges.
Troubling Numbers
DHS says since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) online verification program — administered by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services — as potential non-U.S. citizens who were on voter rolls. Those cases have been referred to HSI for further investigation.
“DHS is laser focused on prosecuting and removing aliens who vote and preventing the dilution of the votes of U.S. citizens,” the department official told The Federalist. “Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences — including criminal charges and deportation.”
The criminal voter fraud investigation surge follows on the heels of New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s admission in July that some 6,600 noncitizens landed on the Garden State’s voter rolls in 2023 and 2024 — and hundreds of the foreign nationals voted in federal elections.
The Democrat governor has stonewalled Republican efforts to get to the bottom of the election integrity disaster. Republican Study Committee member Rep. Jeff Van Drew, R-N.J., is not happy with Sherrill’s recalcitrance. Van Drew told Fox News over the weekend that he is working with the full Judiciary Committee to bypass Sherrill and obtain the records from Lt. Gov. Dale Caldwell, who heads up New Jersey’s election division. The congressman said they will issue subpoenas if necessary. --->READ MORE HERE
