The Department of Justice announced charges against a 30-year-old Mexican national who allegedly voted illegally in the 2024 election.
Katya Rodriguez, 30, who lives in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, has been charged with “false statement of citizenship in order to vote, fraudulent registration, and voting as an alien,” per a news release from the agency.
“The integrity of our elections, which are fundamental to democracy, should be of utmost importance to every American,” Attorney General Todd Blanche said.
“It is a cherished right for eligible American citizens, and only eligible American citizens, to vote for their representatives in government,” he added.
“Election fraud is a serious crime, and it is the duty of the Department of Justice to treat it as such.”
Rodriguez faces up to 11 years in prison, as well as a fine and a term of supervised release after her sentence.
Homeland Security Investigations led the investigation into the case.
