Two foreign nationals who unlawfully participated in the 2024 presidential election are currently in federal custody, largely due to one of the most recent and assertive initiatives of the Trump administration.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced on Tuesday that two Ukrainian citizens were apprehended for illegally voting in last year’s election, in conjunction with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). These arrests are being celebrated as a success for DOGE, the agency created by President Trump to minimize government waste and now tasked with overseeing immigration and election laws.
“In collaboration with @DOGE, @ICEgov apprehended two Ukrainian citizens for illegally VOTING in the 2024 election,” Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem stated on X. “Under President Donald Trump, if you enter our country and violate our laws, you will face the repercussions.”
