Trump's ICE warned foreigners about voting illegally in the United States elections

In that publication, the agency stated that Morzetta had participated in four federal elections despite not being a U.S. citizen.

ICE presented the incident as a case of deliberate electoral fraud and distinguished that behavior from a simple administrative error.

In its statement, it asserted: "Voting illegally is NOT a paperwork error when someone casts a vote consciously and deliberately knowing that it is prohibited".

Furthermore, the agency linked the enforcement of electoral laws with the protection of the transparency of the elections and the right of U.S. citizens to participate in legitimate elections.

"U.S. citizens deserve FAIR and HONEST elections, and the Trump administration is committed to protecting their integrity", ICE added in the same message.

With the elections underway, the immigration agency again used its social media to convey a strong message about the restrictions on voting by foreigners.

The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) of the Donald Trump Administration issued a warning directed at immigrants attempting to participate illegally in the U.S. elections taking place this Tuesday.

Through a post on its official X account, the agency stated that it will pursue those who cast votes without being authorized and warned that there will be arrests and legal proceedings.

"If you vote illegally, we will find you. We will track you down, arrest you, and prosecute you. There will be no escape", ICE published in a message disseminated during the election day.

The warning is part of communications from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the immigration agency itself, which emphasized that the right to vote in the federal elections is reserved for U.S. citizens.

In this regard, authorities pointed out that the electoral participation of unauthorized foreigners constitutes a serious violation that can lead to legal consequences.

The ICE message aims to reinforce controls over the integrity of the electoral process and warn about the penalties that those attempting to vote without meeting the established requirements may face.

Among the possible consequences are arrests, legal proceedings, and potential deportations.

The case of an Italian citizen arrested in New Jersey

The agency's warning also comes after ICE reported various cases related to electoral irregularities and fraud.

At the end of October, the immigration service announced the arrest of Andrea Morzetta, an Italian citizen arrested in New Jersey and accused of voting illegally as a foreigner.
