The Department of Justice has charged 16 aliens across the country with a bunch of election crimes.
These are not the 16 aliens Ben wrote about on September 16. Nope. We have 16 more aliens.
🚨Today, the Justice Department announced charges involving 16 ALIENS in connection with illegal voting, fraudulent voter registration, and related election crimes across the country.
The cases include:
• Voting by aliens in federal elections
• False claims of U.S. citizenship… pic.twitter.com/naO600Ubha— U.S. Department of Justice (@TheJusticeDept) October 5, 2026
Weird how these charges keep popping up. Weird.
The majority of the aliens face charges for allegedly voting in elections as aliens. A few were caught allegedly voting in federal elections.
The aliens are not illegal aliens. They are lawful permanent residents, which means they have a green card.
However, a green card does not make you a citizen. You cannot vote with only a green card.
You cannot vote unless you are a U.S. citizen.
Did these aliens not know the rules? I have no idea.
But some of these aliens apparently knew the rules because they face charges for falsely certifying they are American citizens.
First off, ten of the aliens reside in Minnesota. You know, the state that has become known for fraud:

Seven of the aliens voted on November 5, 2024…the presidential election. Eight of the aliens claimed they were American citizens in order to vote.
In Minnesota, if you register to vote online, the very first question you must answer is: “Are you a U.S. citizen?”
The first question on the paper form? “Are you a U.S. citizen?”
So, in other words, Minnesota asks you right away if you are registering to vote.
We also have arrests in Florida, Louisiana, and Wisconsin.
The DOJ alleges that Italian national Andrea Catanese voted in the 2024 general election.
However, Catanese claimed on his Application for Naturalization he never voted in a federal election. He also told the immigration officer who reviewed his application he never voted in a federal election, according to the DOJ.
