Democrats Cry Foul As DHS Launches Voter Fraud Probe In 9 States

The Department of Homeland Security opened a coordinated voter fraud investigation across nine states this week, and Democratic election officials are not taking the news well…

CNN reported that internal federal guidance directs Homeland Security Investigations, the investigative arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, to build criminal cases against people suspected of illegally registering or voting. The effort is described as a “coordinated criminal voter fraud surge initiative” and will run from early September through mid-October.

Agents began work Tuesday in Washington, Wisconsin, Missouri, Georgia, California, Pennsylvania, Nevada, New York and Connecticut.

The operation targets noncitizens who registered or cast ballots, including immigrants accused of voting before they naturalized. DHS has directed investigators to coordinate with US Citizenship and Immigration Services, which means a noncitizen caught voting faces more than a fine. Criminal charges, a denied citizenship application and deportation are all on the table.

The enforcement push runs through DHS’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, which lets states cross-check voter rolls against federal citizenship and immigration records. Mullin announced in July that states seeking DHS election-related grants must run their rolls through SAVE as a condition of funding.

“Working with Secretary Lutnick, we are going to make our security enhancements mandatory,” Mullin said.

“The machines have to be secured, and your voter registration list needs to be scrubbed. We need to make sure that individuals that are legally able to vote are voting.”

Skeptics might ask whether any of this produces actual prosecutions. It has. Recent federal cases include a Honduran illegal alien arrested for voting in seven federal elections dating back to 2008, a Mexican national who pleaded guilty after falsely claiming citizenship, an Australian national arrested for voting in multiple federal elections, a Chinese national facing voter fraud charges and an illegal alien sentenced for voting under a stolen identity for more than two decades.

While Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger’s office said it would comply with the investigation, officials in the targeted Democratic-run states denounced the operation almost immediately.

California Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s office called the operation part of “a broader effort to intimidate Californians” and dismissed DHS’s findings as “seemingly baseless.”

Connecticut Democratic Secretary of State Stephanie Thomas struck a more careful tone, saying she welcomed “any investigation into election malfeasance” while hoping the intent was to find wrongdoing rather than “create chaos.” 

Washington Secretary of State Steve Hobbs said he learned about the probe from media reports and complained DHS never contacted his office. “It’s troubling that Homeland Security is wasting taxpayer dollars investigating a phenomenon we know to be false,” Hobbs said, calling the operation “another attempt by the federal government to cause chaos and confusion ahead of the midterms.” 

Wisconsin Democratic Gov. Tony Evers called the probe “a joke” and told Trump to “stay out of it because voting is a state issue and not a federal issue.” 

New Jersey offers the cleanest test case of the whole fight. The Trump administration identified at least 35,000 potential noncitizen registered voters in the state. In July, Democratic Gov. Mikie Sherrill tried to get ahead of the story by admitting the state had 6,600 registered noncitizen voters herself. But then she refused to hand voter data over to the Trump administration. 

 “While ICE Homeland Security Investigations is not able to comment on any active investigations, HSI is actively rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. “Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: we will find you, arrest you, and you will face the consequences—including criminal charges and deportation.”

JD Vance’s Mom Blasts Abdul El-Sayed Over Racial Smears About Her Family: ‘That Man’s an Idiot’

Egyptian-American Muslim and Democrat Michigan Senate nominee Abdulrahman Mohamed El-Sayed (aka Abdul El-Sayed) has been running around for months smearing Vice President JD Vance’s family as racist. Earlier this week, Vance himself struck back. On Wednesday, Vance’s mother, Beverly Vance Adkins, shared her own blunt thoughts.

“I think that man’s an idiot,” she said during an interview on OutKick’s Tomi Lahren is Fearless.

Of her grandkids, she added: “Those are my babies. I love those babies and would do anything for any of them. And I love Usha as if she were my own daughter. She’s one of the best, most genuine people I’ve ever met. And she loves my son, and she’s a good mother. And I don’t pay attention to people like [El-Sayed].”

“I think they’re jealous, honestly. I mean, JD is 42 years old. He’s handsome. He’s the vice president of the United States. He’s got a beautiful wife, four beautiful children, and jealousy is the only thing I can think of,” she added. “Yeah. So, I mean, he can take all the shots he wants. It’s going to go, you know, it’s going to get no merit from any of us.”

“I mean, it makes me mad, honestly, because he doesn’t know JD and he doesn’t know, you know, what type of person he is, and I do,” she continued, “but in the long run, I’m not going to do anything about it. I mean, you know, I’d probably punch the guy if I ever seen him, and then that would get me in trouble. So, I’ll just go with the flow.”

What El-Sayed has said these past few months with his relentless attacks on Vance’s family is simply beyond the pale.

“So do we think JD is taking Usha with him back in time to meet Papaw, or no?” El-Sayed asked rhetorically, insinuating Vance’s grandfather would reject Usha Vance because of her Indian heritage.

El-Sayed also urged Usha to dump her husband, saying the vice president has the “charisma of a doorknob” and the “aura of a toad.”

El-Sayed has gone so far as to say Vance looks at his mixed-race kids as something “less American.”

Democrat Rep. Maxwell Frost: Homeless ‘Should Not Be Forced to Work in Exchange for a Bed’

Rep. Maxwell Frost (D-FL) believes homeless people should have legal immunity and not be “forced to work in exchange for a bed.”

Maxwell made his statement during a press conference Wednesday when he introduced the No Homeless Detention Centers Act.

“Right now there’s a growing effort in this country to treat homelessness like a crime instead of what it is: a housing crisis. Homelessness is a housing issue. Since the Supreme Court’s disastrous grants passed decision, states and cities have been given even more room to criminalize people for sleeping outside, and we are seeing politicians and right-wing organizations push laws that ticket people, arrest people, sweep encampments, and force people into detention-like facilities,” he said.

Frost continued:

And it’s not just right-wing organizations, it’s democratic cities as well that are pursuing handcuffs instead of housing. That does not end homelessness. It just makes being homeless a crime. That’s why today I’m proud to introduce the No Homeless Detention Centers Act. This bill draws a line in the sand if you are receiving federal housing dollars, those dollars should be for helping people to get housed and not locking them away. You should not be forced to work in exchange for a bed.

You should not be punished for sleeping, resting, eating, drinking, or protecting yourself from the elements. And you should never have to choose between being arrested and sleeping outside. Because we know why people are ending up on the streets. The rent is too damn high, housing is too expensive, and wages have not kept up.

Attendees standing behind Frost during the press conference held signs that read “Housing Is a Human Right.”

Leftist Teen Who Plotted to BOMB and BEHEAD ICE Agents in Portland Walks With 3 Years Probation — Sen. Mike Lee: “Insufficient Punishment for TERROR PLOTS”

An Oregon leftist who wrote a manifesto, built Molotov cocktails, ordered an AR-15, and planned to stalk ICE agents home, murder them, and take their heads as trophies is going back into society.

Rayden Tanner Coleman, 19, of Columbia City, Oregon, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of unlawful manufacture of a destructive device.

As part of the sweetheart agreement, prosecutors dismissed 13 other charges, including attempted first-degree domestic terrorism, second-degree domestic terrorism, attempted assault, and several destructive-device offenses.

Coleman must continue receiving mental-health treatment, undergo evaluations, surrender the weapons seized by authorities, and pay $550 in fines and fees.

Judge Michael T. Clarke sentenced him to 36 months of supervised probation and 75 days in jail with credit for time already served. That means zero additional days behind bars.

Probation. For a terror plot.

The Gateway Pundit previously reported that Coleman was arrested in February after acquaintances alerted police to his alleged plans to attack ICE agents operating out of Portland.

Leftist Podcaster Arrested for Threats to Kill President Donald Trump

Federal agents have arrested Los Angeles-based leftist podcaster Benjamin Azariah Southworth at his Westlake home Thursday on a grand jury indictment charging him with threatening to kill President Donald Trump, cyberstalking, and making harassing interstate telephone calls.

First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli announced that the 40-year-old is accused of posting videos calling for the president’s assassination, then targeting the family of Trump’s personal attorney by publishing a home address and phone numbers and leaving voicemails that justice would “come to your door.”

Essayli said in a post on X, “Threats against the President of the United States are federal crimes. We will not tolerate threats of political violence in the United States. My office will prosecute anyone who crosses that line to the fullest extent of the law.”

According to charging papers obtained by the New York Post, prosecutors say Southworth used Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok from January through May to call for Trump’s death and later claimed some of it was “just rhetoric.”

An April 7 Instagram video cited in the case includes the lines, “I have been vocal in calling for the execution of Donald Trump. This government is illegitimate and out of control. It’s time for course correction. Kill Donald Trump.”

Other posts and texts quoted by prosecutors include statements that he wanted Trump and “his minions dead” and a March video repeating the call to kill the president.

OUTRAGE: Texas Student’s School Laptop BLOCKS Search for President Trump — But Allows Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Jeffrey Epstein

A Richardson Independent School District parent says her son’s school-issued laptop blocked him from searching for the sitting President of the United States, while searches for Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein went through without a hitch.

The district has so far refused to explain why.

According to an exclusive report from The Dallas Express, an anonymous Richardson ISD parent provided video of her son attempting to research President Donald Trump for a school assignment. When he searched “Trump,” the device displayed a blunt message: “WEBSITE BLOCKED BY RICHARDSON ISD.”

The same block did not appear for Biden, Harris, or Epstein.

“My child was researching our current president for a school assignment and discovered that the district’s web content filter had blocked ‘Trump’ from search results,” the parent told The Dallas Express.

“This means students can’t access legitimate educational and news content, including current-events research, government and civics coursework, and basic search results about the sitting U.S. President. This is very concerning, as it amounts to censorship of information about a current public official.”

She then had her son test other names.

Muslim Convert Minnesota AG Keith Ellison Forced to Return $12,500 From Somali Fraudsters After Secret Tape Caught Him Promising to “Fight These People” and Unfreeze Their Welfare Cash

Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, the first Muslim elected to statewide office in Minnesota and a convert from Catholicism, has quietly returned at least $12,500 in campaign cash from Somali figures tied to the massive Feeding Our Future welfare fraud after a secret recording surfaced of him huddling with the same crowd to fend off state investigators.

According to the Center of the American Experiment, the five refunded contributions included donations from Gandi Yusuf Mohamed and Liban Alishire, both of whom became defendants in the Feeding Our Future case.

As The Gateway Pundit reported in December, the 54-minute recording, obtained by the Center of the American Experiment and later entered as a trial exhibit, captured Ellison schmoozing with Somali-American operators who would later be charged or convicted in the Feeding Our Future scheme that looted more than $250 million in federal child-nutrition money meant for hungry kids.

The meeting participants complained that state regulators were acting in a “racist, xenophobic, Islamophobic manner” by asking questions about phantom meal sites.

“The only way we can protect what we have is by inserting ourselves into the political arena, putting our votes where it needs to be, but most importantly, putting our dollars in the right place,” Feeding Our Future consultant Abshir Omar said.

“But if you are secure in your donor base, and if you are secure in your power base, you can act the way you want to act,” Omar continued.

“Money is freedom,” Ellison replied with a laugh.

OUTRAGEOUS: Democrats Use Anonymous Whistleblower to Claim President Trump’s EO on Mail-In Ballots Is “Potentially Catastrophic”

Democrats Use Anonymous Whistleblower to Claim President Trump’s EO on Mail-In Ballots Is “Potentially Catastrophic”

You just can’t make this stuff up.  The lying Dems are now using an “anonymous” source to claim that President Trump’s EO regarding Mail-In ballots will be “catastrophic”.

Showing their extraordinary bias, CBS claimed the following:

A whistleblower is warning of “potentially catastrophic problems” with the U.S. Postal Service’s new system for handling mail ballots. The whistleblower is accusing the agency of flouting court rulings by continuing to work on implementing a Trump executive order to tighten mail voting rules before the November midterm elections.

Described by lawyers as a federal official, the anonymous whistleblower revealed the information about the Postal Service’s mail-voting procedures in a disclosure provided to Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut that was made public Tuesday. In response, Blumenthal is now questioning Postmaster General David Steiner about the Postal Service’s development of a new online portal to house information about voters and their mail ballots.

“The main takeaway for me is that the Postal Service has designed a system to disenfranchise millions of Americans,” Blumenthal told reporters. “One third of all Americans cast their ballots by mail, and the USPS puts all of their votes at risk.”

This report is laughable on multiple fronts.

1. Using an anonymous whistleblower making comments to fit their passion for uncontrolled mail-in ballots is laughable.  The Democrats want no controls around ballots so they can insert millions of votes for their far-left candidates.  Preventing the insertion of bogus votes in one method used to steal elections in prior elections.  President Trump’s EO prevents mail-in ballots from reaching counting centers that have not been properly inserted into the election.

2. Using “Da Nang Dick” Blumenthal as your mouthpiece ties you to dishonest reporting.  Senator Blumenthal gained his nickname for claiming he served in Vietnam, which was a lie.

3. Democrats are also parading the creator of the corrupt ERIC voter roll machine to make their case.  This, too, shows their desperation.

Former DNC Fundraiser Blames Joe Biden Presidency for the Rise of the DSA Socialists in the Party

Lindi Li is a former DNC fundraiser and Democrat Party operative who blew the whistle after the 2024 election about the reckless spending of the Kamala Harris campaign. She has repeatedly made the case that another Harris run will be impossible because the donor class will never allow it.

Now she is back in the news with some thoughts about the rise of the radical Democratic Socialists of America (DSA).

According to Li, the Joe Biden presidency is to blame for the rise of radical socialists in the party.

FOX News reports:

Lindy Li, a former Democratic fundraiser who left the party after her warnings about then-President Joe Biden’s decline went unheeded during the 2024 campaign, says Democrats’ leadership vacuum has helped fuel the Democratic Socialists of America’s string of victories in 2026.

“They’re a metastasizing cancer,” Li told Fox News Digital in an interview.

“I had a bird’s-eye view from the beginning, you know, [to] the ascent of the DSA — power abhors a vacuum. They’re simply filling a vacuum. There’s no one there.”

According to Li, the DSA has pressured candidates for years to push their platforms further and further left — a process she said she experienced firsthand when, in 2018, she tried to run for Congress herself. Li, who is publishing a new book titled “Unburdened” later this year, believes it’s one of the many layers of how the DSA and socialists have emerged as a force to be reckoned with within the Democratic Party in 2026.

In her own experience, the DSA’s pressure came in the form of a questionnaire.

“These over-educated bums, which populated the DSA — that’s what they are — basically forced me to adopt its platform by handing me a questionnaire and saying, ‘everyone in this congressional race must fill out this questionnaire,’” Li recalled.

At the time, in 2018, Li said she felt like she didn’t have a choice but to fill out the form and didn’t expect the answers to stick with her. She was running for Pennsylvania’s 5th Congressional District.

Another ActBlue Official Pleads Fifth In House Probe of Alleged Foreign Donations

Another senior figure at Democratic fundraising platform ActBlue invoked the Fifth Amendment during congressional testimony Tuesday as House Republicans investigate allegations of fraudulent and foreign political donations.

Kimberly Peeler-Allen, a member of ActBlue’s board of directors, invoked her constitutional right against self-incrimination while appearing before the House Administration, Judiciary and Oversight committees, according to sources familiar with her testimony.

Her decision follows similar moves by other ActBlue officials.

ActBlue co-founder Matt DeBergalis invoked the Fifth during a closed-door deposition Aug. 20, while CEO Regina Wallace-Jones asserted the same right during congressional questioning in June.

The House Administration Committee began investigating ActBlue in 2023 following concerns that the fundraising platform’s fraud-prevention procedures were inadequate to prevent illegal foreign donations.

Committee Chairman Bryan Steil, R-Wis., has focused in part on ActBlue’s previous practice of not requiring donors to provide credit card CVV security codes.

“We have an entity here with ActBlue, that has raised roughly $20 billion since its creation,” Steil told Fox News.

“We want to make sure that they have the fraud prevention protocols in place to make sure that foreign funds are not coming into U.S. elections.”

Steil acknowledged that witnesses have a constitutional right to invoke the Fifth Amendment but said their refusal to answer questions has frustrated lawmakers seeking information about ActBlue’s operations.

The investigation intensified after The New York Times reported in April that ActBlue’s attorneys had warned internally that Wallace-Jones may have provided Congress with a misleading description of the organization’s procedures for detecting foreign donations.

Wallace-Jones had described ActBlue’s screening system as “multilayered.” According to the Times, however, the organization’s attorneys warned that ActBlue did not always follow the procedures she described, creating what they characterized as “a substantial risk for ActBlue.”

Republicans have denied accusations that the investigation is politically motivated, arguing that foreign money entering American elections would present a serious threat regardless of which party benefits.

ActBlue has denied wrongdoing and has previously said it maintains safeguards against fraudulent and foreign contributions.
