美国司法部在加州逮捕28名绿卡持有人 涉嫌非公民投票

美国司法部针对涉嫌非公民投票登记人员开展联邦执法行动，在加州商业市等地逮捕了28名绿卡持有人23。这些被告被指控虚假登记投票和非法投票，其中21人已投出非法选票，11人已被拘押3。涉及虚假登记投票和在入籍申请中做虚假陈述的重罪可处5年监禁3。

司法部声称已向加州发送了超过20,000人的名单，称这些人"可能是非公民"3。代理美国副司法部长特伦特·麦考特承认政府的非公民选民名单"可能不准确"，表示"190,000是上限，20,000是下限"3。司法部表示最近几周已在全国20个州对112人提出指控3。

加州国务卿雪莉·韦伯谴责司法部的要求为"荒谬的"，称联邦官员做过"模糊和未经证实的指控"3。民主党人和投票权倡导者称此举是特朗普政府为制造选举怀疑的策略3。加州共有23.1百万登记选民3。

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed criminal charges against 28 green card holders in California, accusing them of fraudulent voter registration and illegal voting.23 According to the Justice Department, 21 of the 28 defendants cast illegal ballots, and 11 have been detained.3 The charges include false voter registration and making false statements in naturalization applications, with potential sentences of up to five years in prison.3

This enforcement action represents an escalation in the federal government's focus on noncitizen voting.3 The Justice Department stated it has sent California a list of more than 20,000 individuals suspected of being noncitizens, though Acting Deputy Attorney General Trent McCotter acknowledged the list "may not be accurate," characterizing it as falling between 20,000 and 190,000.3 The Department of Homeland Security initially claimed in July that California had over 190,000 registered voters who were potentially noncitizens before lowering that figure to 20,000.3 The operation has expanded beyond California, with the Justice Department reporting charges against 112 people across 20 states in recent weeks.3

California State Secretary Shirley Weber has criticized the Justice Department's efforts, calling its requests "absurd" and characterizing the federal officials' allegations as "vague and unsubstantiated."3 This action reflects broader tensions between the Trump administration and California over election issues, as critics argue the initiative may be designed to sow doubt ahead of upcoming elections.2
