Sources: 10. Developments: 2. The U.S. Department of Justice has increased prosecutions of noncitizens for election-related offenses, including illegal voting and fraudulent registration. Since the beginning of the second Trump administration, approximately 50 noncitizens have been charged, a figure reported to be nearly four times the total number of such charges brought during the preceding Biden administration. Specific cases involve various schemes across multiple states. In Los Angeles, individuals face charges for an alleged operation on Skid Row involving the use of stolen identities to forge signatures on California ballot petitions. Other federal actions include the arrest of a Peruvian national for allegedly misrepresenting citizenship status to vote in 2024, as well as charges in Louisiana for fraudulent registration and voting by an alien. Proponents of these prosecutions cite them as justification for the proposed SAVE America Act, which seeks to mandate photo identification and proof of citizenship for voter registration. ## Timeline ### 2026-09-14: Federal authorities charge multiple individuals in U.S. election fraud cases Federal prosecutors have charged multiple individuals in the U.S. for election-related crimes, including identity theft in Los Angeles and illegal voting by non-citizens in Kansas and Louisiana. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/federal-authorities-charge-multiple-individuals-in-us-election-fraud-cases ### 2026-09-05: Justice Department charges 50 noncitizens with election fraud under Trump The Trump administration's Justice Department has charged 50 noncitizens with election fraud offenses, significantly outpacing the total number of such charges brought during the Biden administration. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/justice-department-charges-50-noncitizens-with-election-fraud-under-trump --- Cite as: U.S. federal noncitizen election fraud prosecutions.
