19 Foreign Nationals Charged with Voter Fraud in Swing State North Carolina

19 foreign nationals were charged in August in North Carolina with voter fraud after voting in the 2016 elections.

The charges are the latest in an ongoing investigation conducted by ICE officials.

Maybe this is why Democrats hate ICE so much?

ICE.gov reported:

Nineteen foreign nationals face federal charges in U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina for illegally voting in the 2016 federal elections, according to federal charges publicly announced on Wednesday. These charges are the latest indictments to result from an ongoing years-long federal criminal investigation being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Raleigh office.

A federal grand jury in Wilmington charged seven foreign nationals on August 31 on federal felony charges including falsely claiming U.S. citizenship or making false statements on voter registration application, and with misdemeanor charges of unlawfully casting ballots in the 2016 presidential election. Non-citizens are not eligible to register to vote or to vote in federal elections under U.S. law.
