Charges announced in Texas part of Trump focus on noncitizen voting
Seven noncitizens in Texas have been charged with illegally voting in federal elections or falsely claiming U.S. citizenship, according to the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Texas. The announcement is part of a broader focus by President Donald Trump and his administration on noncitizen voting ahead of this year's midterm elections. Research shows voting by noncitizens is rare, and violations can result in felony charges and possible deportation.
The U.S. attorney's office did not make any claim that the seven were colluding with each other. Texas has 18 million registered voters.
