Immigration and Customs Enforcement has charged 19 illegal aliens with engaging in acts of voter fraud in North Carolina, which is shaping up to be a battleground state again in the 2020 presidential election.
“These charges are the latest indictments to result from an ongoing years-long federal criminal investigation being conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Raleigh office,” ICE said in a statement.
Seven foreign nationals were charged by a federal grand jury in Wilmington August 31 of falsely claiming U.S. citizenship or otherwise making false statements on voter registration applications.
They were also charged with misdemeanors for illegally casting ballots in the 2016 presidential election, ICE said, adding that non-citizens “are not eligible to register to vote in federal elections under U.S. law.”
If they are convicted, they could receive up to six years in federal prison and be forced to pay fines of up to $350,000.
In addition, 12 other people were charged Aug. 13 for illegally casting ballots in the 2016 election. If convicted, they face up to a year in prison and a fine of $100,000.
Shortly after his unexpected victory in 2016, then-President-elect Donald Trump said that he very likely won the popular vote as well as the electoral college tally because millions of illegal aliens unlawfully cast ballots.
“In addition to winning the Electoral College in a landslide, I won the popular vote if you deduct the millions of people who voted illegally,” he tweeted.
