Summary
Amandeep Kaur, a 30-year-old legal permanent resident from India, turned herself in at a Los Angeles courthouse last Monday and was taken into federal custody on a voter-fraud case.
Court documents say she registered to vote in 2022, cast a ballot in the 2024 election despite not being a U.S. citizen, and later lied about that history on her naturalization application.
More than 220 people in 28 states had been charged by Friday in voting-violation cases during President Trump’s second term, part of a monthslong federal push to find, arrest and publicize alleged voter fraud.
That crackdown has swept up immigrants seeking citizenship, with some taken from their homes, some ordered to surrender, and some brought before judges in shackles; at least one man remains jailed in Texas.
