The Trump administration arrested an illegal alien in September who allegedly voted in the 2024 presidential election, the Daily Caller learned.
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) officers arrested Mariana Alexandra Dewey, a citizen of Peru, on Sept. 1 for illegally misrepresenting herself as a legal U.S. citizen while voting in the 2024 general election in Kansas, an official shared with the Caller.
Dewey has been charged with one count of false claim of citizenship, one count of false claim of United States citizenship in order to vote, one count of fraudulent election conduct, and one count of voting by an alien in a federal election, the Caller learned.
The Caller obtained photos of Dewey’s arrest.
“The Department of Justice remains committed to protecting election integrity and is actively investigating and prosecuting these cases,” U.S. Attorney Ryan A. Kriegshauser said in a statement obtained by the Caller.
“With another election looming, the Department’s effort serves as a stark reminder to individuals who are not legally authorized to vote not to engage in this conduct. Should individuals be determined by a court of law to have illegally claimed U.S. citizenship and voted or attempted to vote in federal elections, they will face serious criminal consequences,” he added.
Dewey was contacted by an investigator in April after she had moved addresses and had initially told the officer she was a U.S. citizen, the Caller learned.
She later clarified she was actually not an American citizen, but was a lawful permanent resident, according to information shared with the Caller. She also allegedly confirmed on the call with investigators that she voted in the 2024 General Election. Authorities also obtained a provisional pollbook at the Hope Church polling location and submitted a Kansas Voter Registration Application, the Caller learned. Both allegedly included statements from Dewey confirming she was a U.S. citizen.
“Despite extreme Democrats and the media claiming it never happens, the evidence of non-citizens registering and voting in our elections continues to pile up,” Lauren Bis, White House Spokeswoman, told the Caller.
“Any non-citizens registering to vote in our elections continues to pile up. Any non-citizens found registering and voting in our elections will be arrested and held accountable. Only Americans should be electing American leaders,” she added.
The administration has made numerous arrests for similar charges across the country. In July, federal authorities arrested and charged an illegal alien in New Jersey for voting in a federal election, the Caller learned first. While a number of academic studies have found that such cases are uncommon, others have shown that illegal votes can still make an impact in local and some state-level elections.
For months, President Donald Trump has pushed Congressional Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act, which would require proof of American citizenship to register to vote and photo identification to vote in federal elections. The legislation has stalled and remains in limbo.
Speaker Mike Johnson told Fox News on Sunday that House Republicans could put the SAVE America Act into a reconciliation bill.
“This time we’re going to try to put it on a reconciliation bill, and the reason that’s so important, Maria [Bartiromo], as you know, is it prevents the necessity of 60 votes in the Senate,” Johnson said. “The Democrats want no part of this, and remember, this is very basic stuff.”
“We’re just going to make sure you have to have proof of citizenship to register to vote and then show an ID when you turn out at the ballot box,” he added. “These are 90-10 public opinion issues, and more than 70 percent of Democrats want to do it, but not the Democrats in the House and Senate, and so we’ve got to go around them.”

Before we pass sentence, for whom did she vote?
Oh wow, one whole vote.
When the millions of phony “votes” that were submarined into the 2020 elections and later again in 2022 get outed and thousands are arrested, lemme know.
Otherwise this is just theater.
The House should shut down the government if the SAVE Act isn’t passed. Let the Senate figure out how to bypass the filibuster. ‘Ef ‘em!
She probably is a registered. Republican said that the left can use her as an example claiming that there is almost no election Fraud
What did they think Motor Voter was for?
Sheesh.
It's good theater. I enjoyed the show. Also, it tends to discourage other foreign invaders from voting.
One example, and IIRC, the Dems' attempted flim-flamming the close votes in Florida in which Dubya squeaked by due to the Supremes correctlu deciding who in Fla had authority over vote count.
GOPers are interested in fair votes.
Dems have no compunction about cheating the system.
One down and millions to go.
I thought noncitizen voting is rare. /s
For some folks, nothing is ever enough.
Multiply this arrest by a couple more 100K and you’ve put a dent in the fender...but the car has been totaled and a car crusher has yet to be found!
