美国司法部向加州多个县政府发出要求，命令其在48小时内核实约2万张涉嫌非公民投票的选票3。司法部同时指控28名外国人非法登记投票3。被告是具有美国法律身份但无投票权的合法永久居民3。
加州领导人对此举措表示强烈反对。州长纽森指责司法部"列出了从未投过票的人，以及来自错误县的投票者"3。加州官员认为这是"美国司法部再次政治化和武器化法律来攻击其敌人"3。洛杉矶等地的选举官员表示，被列入名单的个人中"很高比例"出生在美国3，对司法部的要求感到沮丧和困扰1。官员们警告称，这一举措可能导致合法公民被剥夺投票权3。内华达县等多个县已收到司法部的要求信函2。
The Trump administration's Justice Department has directed multiple California counties to verify approximately 20,000 ballots suspected of being cast by noncitizens and sequester the related votes within 48 hours.3 Nevada County is among the jurisdictions that have received the federal demand letters.2 The directive requires counties to identify and isolate these contested ballots as part of the administration's broader effort to combat alleged voter fraud.1
California officials have mounted sharp resistance to the initiative, characterizing it as a politicization and weaponization of federal law enforcement.3 Rob Bonta stated that this represents "the U.S. Justice Department once again politicizing and weaponizing the law to attack its enemies."3 Los Angeles officials noted that a high proportion of individuals on the suspect list were actually born in the United States,3 while Governor Newsom accused the Justice Department of including people who have never voted and voters from incorrect counties.3 Election officials throughout the state have expressed frustration and dismay over the demands.12
The Justice Department has separately charged 28 foreign nationals with illegal voter registration.3 The individuals facing charges are legal permanent residents who hold lawful immigration status under U.S. law but lack voting rights.3
