Justice Department Charges Over Two Dozen Non-Citizens in California for Alleged Illegal Voting

Federal authorities have charged more than two dozen foreign nationals in California as part of a statewide sweep, dubbed "Operation Protect the Vote," targeting individuals accused of illegally registering and voting in U.S. elections. The 28 individuals charged are lawful permanent residents, not U.S. citizens, and face charges including making false statements on naturalization applications and submitting fraudulent voter registrations.
