DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin Sends Letters to Secretaries of State Warning About Non-Citizens on Voter Rolls
By: U. S. Department of Homeland Security
President Trump's primetime address on June 16, 2026, marked an abrupt and significant change in the political rhetoric surrounding elections. Rather than relitigating 2020 or demanding political retribution, the address was distinctly forward-looking, drawing a direct line between election integrity and national security.
This announcement by DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin represents the initial operational phase of this proactive shift. While the DOJ historically spearheads legal efforts to litigate past election crimes, DHS operates on a different mandate to defend critical infrastructure against systemic vulnerabilities and protect the homeland. Secretary Mullin's letters to state election officials are entirely consistent with this national defense mission—signaling that the executive branch is shifting its strategy from legal warfare to executive enforcement.

WASHINGTON - The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin sent letters to the secretaries of state in four states warning them about tens of thousands of non-citizens who are illegally on the states' voter rolls.
Secretary Mullin sent letters to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber, New Jersey Secretary of State Dale Caldwell, Nevada Secretary of State Francisco Aguilar, and Pennsylvania Secretary of State Al Schmidt.
"Election security is national security," said DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. "As President Trump announced last night, DHS has identified over 250,000 potential non-citizens illegally registered to vote in just 4 U.S. states. Only Americans should be electing American leaders."
Through preliminary reviews of the four states' records, DHS found that there may be as many as:
- 190,832 non-citizens registered to vote in California.
- 35,152 non-citizens registered to vote in New Jersey.
- 15,903 non-citizens registered to vote in Nevada.
- 14,576 non-citizens registered to vote in Pennsylvania.
Secretary Mullin called on the secretaries of state to respond within two weeks and confirm their intentions to collaborate with DHS in order to ensure free, fair, and honest elections.
In recent weeks, DHS has taken additional steps to safeguard the integrity and security of American elections. These measures include:
- The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) requiring grant recipients to take several key actions on election integrity.
- DHS directing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to enforce stricter penalties, including deportation, for aliens who illegally vote in American elections.

This is not more of the same. National security deals with systemic threats rather than individual instances. The number of claimed fraudulent votes isn't really important; it's the systemic vulnerabilities that are the threat to national security. Eventually the issue of immigration may be reframed as a national security issue that would treat all immigrants as a security threat without having to bother about individual cases.
The greatest threat to America's national security is Trump and Trumpism.
What the evidence actually shows
Across all major audits and investigations:
Non‑citizen registration is extremely rare
Non‑citizen voting is even rarer
No audit has found numbers anywhere near large enough to affect statewide or federal outcomes
Michigan, Georgia, Ohio, and national reviews consistently find only dozens of credible cases over many years — out of millions of ballots cast.

The evidence is intended to show system vulnerabilities that threaten national security. The evidence is no longer about the numbers, it's about the system. The new security arena deals with infrastructure not instances.
What records? The federal government sued California to force the state to share voting records with the federal government, and the Feds lost in court. They don’t have our voting records. What the fuck is he talking about?
May be? As many as? That’s Vague multiplied by Vague. So, it could maybe be as many as zero.
If they had something real, they’d be presenting it in a court of law, not trying to win in the Court of Public Opinion.
