Trump Administration Opens Criminal Investigation into Noncitizen Voter Registrations in California
The Trump administration has initiated a criminal investigation into allegations that thousands of noncitizens are registered to vote in California. Federal grand jury subpoenas have been issued to local election officials, including those in Los Angeles and Orange counties, to obtain voter registration information. Election officials have pushed back, emphasizing that courts have upheld their actions as lawful and condemning what they describe as intimidation tactics. The probe comes shortly before the US midterm elections amid ongoing disputes over election integrity.
