U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has compiled 48.4 million voter records as part of a broad federal initiative to investigate voter fraud ahead of the 2026 midterms. These details come from a collection of documents obtained by Democracy Forward through a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit, revealing that the agency also explored using undercover operations against voter registration groups and considered integrating state election data into tools typically reserved for tracking individuals for deportation, Democracy Docket reports.
At the heart of this strategy is Heather Honey, a senior adviser to the ICE director and senior counselor to Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin. Honey is known for promoting false claims about the 2020 election, and her influence within the administration’s election operations has been a point of interest for some time.
