Justice Department

Sixty-three charged. Four of them illegal aliens.

Justice Department

The Justice Department announced the charges on Monday, November 2, 2026, the day before the midterms. Sixty-three people. The release says four of them are illegal aliens. A lawful permanent resident cannot vote in a federal election either, and that is what most of the other names are. Attorney General Todd Blanche called it the largest surge of voter-fraud arrests since President Trump returned to office. The same release says the department charged 195 aliens across 25 states in the nine weeks before the announcement, and 239 people with voting-fraud offenses since this administration began. These are charges. They are not convictions. The release is here. KXAN’s Friday story said four foreign nationals. The department said four illegal aliens.

Texas

Southern District of Texas. Five aliens, and the release says one of them is an illegal alien. Ali Khan, 33, from Trinidad and Tobago, is the one the department calls an illegal alien.

Mohammed Omar Hassan, 61, a Nigerian national and lawful permanent resident, is charged with voting by an alien in the 2022 and 2024 elections.
