Mullin will address the Trump administration’s “efforts to secure American elections” during an 11 a.m. news conference
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin on Friday is to announce new election security crackdowns after The Post a day earlier revealed the feds found at least 278,000 noncitizens Mullin will address the Trump administration’s “efforts to secure American elections” during an 11 a.m. news conference following the president’s Thursday primetime speech on vulnerabilities with US voting.
“Only Americans should be electing American leaders,” Mullin said in a post to X announcing the briefing. In the speech, Trump confirmed The Post’s reporting of the 278,000 illegal voter registrations — noting the full total could be far larger.
“Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that,” he said. “Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote. ” Trump further ordered DHS “to notify every state about non-citizens on their voter rolls and direct them to remove all ineligible voters from the lists immediately.
” It is the highest-ever publicly reported in US history, but a source familiar with the information told The Post on Thursday it remains unclear how many of those registrants may have voted illegally.reported that DHS had sent letters on Friday to officials in California, New Jersey, Nevada and Pennsylvania, alerting them to an estimated 256,000 noncitizens registered to vote in their states — the majority of whom were in the Golden State. US law holds that it is illegal for non-citizens to vote in the United States, punishable by a year in jail and a fine — but ultimately states shoulder the burden to verify a voter’s eligibility.
Republicans have repeatedly tried to jam the bill — considered Trump’s top legislative priority this year — through the Senate, but have consistently failed due to a Democratic filibuster. It comes after the Department of Justice last week sent letters to elections officials across the country warning they “could be criminally prosecuted for aiding noncitizen voting” if such ballots are counted in an election.
The Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 was signed into law by Democratic former President Bill Clinton and criminalizes noncitizen voting. Markwayne Mullin's announcement on election security crackdown.
