WATCH: Trump DOJ vows to pursue ‘every single’ voting violation after NJ roll shocker

The US Justice Department’s civil rights chief, Harmeet Dhillon, said the Trump administration intends to investigate and prosecute every provable case of illegal voting. The comments followed reports that non-citizens had been registered to vote in New Jersey, and signal a more aggressive federal approach to scrutinising voter rolls and alleged electoral offences.

Dhillon described the policy as a “broken windows” enforcement strategy, meaning even individual violations would be pursued where evidence supports prosecution. She warned that non-citizens who vote illegally could face criminal consequences and exclusion from the United States, contrasting the approach with that of previous administrations.
