Summary
More than 200 people have been charged in noncitizen voter-fraud cases, and DHS general counsel James Percival said illegal voters will be found, prosecuted and deported ahead of Tuesday's midterms.
Wednesday's DHS announcement said ICE had already arrested dozens of noncitizens in a nationwide crackdown, with officials alleging some had cast ballots and some had criminal records including assault, drug crimes and sex offenses.
Washington became a flashpoint after federal officials said they identified more than 400 noncitizens illegally registered there, some allegedly voting across multiple elections over decades.
State resistance could complicate the push: Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said the federal list included U.S. citizens and inactive or unregistered people, calling it unreliable without individualized proof.
