On September 30, 2026, the Justice Department announced charges against 10 foreign nationals for illegal votes across the 2022 and 2024 general elections and Minnesota's 2026 primary, including nine counts of illegal voting by an alien and nine counts of making a false claim of citizenship to register. Attorney General Todd Blanche said the DOJ has charged over 90 people with voter-related fraud since Trump returned to office, including 50 aliens in five weeks, with hundreds of investigations ongoing. A later segment reports 16 individuals charged, including one illegal alien, with illegal voting and fraudulent registration. The discrepancy in the number of defendants and the scope of the charges remains unresolved in the coverage.
