A federal whistleblower has come forward with allegations about a Department of Homeland Security probe. The initiative, known as the "Unlawful Voter Initiative", aims to identify noncitizen voters. According to the whistleblower, federal employees are being required to misrepresent themselves on voter lookup tools, potentially violating state laws.
The whistleblower's statement also warns that employees are creating federal law enforcement records based on unreliable data. This could lead to US citizens being wrongly implicated in official documentation, potentially sparking further investigation. The disclosure was published by Democratic senators, including Chuck Schumer and Alex Padilla.
Further details about the allegations are available, including a nearly 30-page disclosure from the whistleblower.
