28 Green Card Holders, Including Two Indians, Charged with Election Fraud in California
The US Department of Justice charged 28 lawful permanent residents, including two Indian nationals, with election fraud in California. The accused allegedly registered illegally and cast ballots in the November 2024 elections, which non-citizens are prohibited from doing. Eleven arrests were made during early morning raids under 'Operation Protect the Vote,' though it is unclear if the Indian nationals were among them. Charges include false statements in naturalisation applications and fraudulent voter registration, carrying up to five years in prison. California officials have disputed some claims, emphasizing voter participation.
