联邦当局最近几周针对非公民人士提起了一系列与选举相关的诉讼，并实施了逮捕行动。这一举措与民主党的观点发生了冲突：民主党一方面认为非公民参与选举的情况“极为罕见”，另一方面则坚称这种行为根本“不存在”。这些案件发生在围绕《SAVE法案》的党派斗争之中——该法案要求选民在参加联邦选举时必须提供公民身份证明。民主党认为，这一规定会使得符合条件的美国公民更难以行使投票权。
Federal authorities made arrests in a string of election-related indictments against noncitizens in recent weeks, colliding with Democratic claims ranging from such voting being "extremely rare" to assertions that it simply "doesn’t happen." The cases come amid a partisan fight over the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship to to vote in federal elections. Democrats argue the measure would make voting harder for eligible Americans.
“让我把话说得非常清楚：这根本不是个问题。非公民在美国的选举中是没有投票权的，”2025年，宾夕法尼亚州民主党众议员玛丽·盖·斯坎伦在对该法案投反对票后如此表示。
"Let me be perfectly clear: This is a non-issue. Noncitizens do not vote in U.S. elections," Rep. Mary Gay Scanlon, D-Pa., declared in 2025 after voting 'no' on the bill at the time.
本月，在斯坎伦所代表的费城县，有三名非公民因与选举相关的违法行为被逮捕。
Three noncitizens were arrested this month in Philadelphia County, which Scanlon partially represents, and charged with election-related offenses.
特立尼达和多巴哥公民萨德·古皮（Sade Guppy）被指控在2022年的中期选举中非法投票；海地非法移民克里夫·萨农（Cliff Sanon）则被指控在2026年宾夕法尼亚州初选前提交了虚假的选民登记申请。
Trinidad and Tobago national Sade Guppy allegedly voted illegally in the 2022 midterms, while Haitian illegal immigrant Cliff Sanon was charged with submitting a fraudulent voter registration application prior to the 2026 Pennsylvania primary.
美国国土安全部（DHS）还向福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）提供了有关毛里塔尼亚非法移民马哈迪·萨科（Mahady Sacko）的资料，该人被指控自2008年以来曾七次参与联邦选举投票。福克斯新闻数字频道联系了斯坎伦要求她对此事发表评论。
DHS also pointed Fox News Digital to Mauritanian illegal immigrant Mahady Sacko, who is accused of voting in seven federal elections since 2008. Fox News Digital reached out to Scanlon for comment.
周三，司法部长托德·布兰奇（Todd Blanche）宣布，仅明尼苏达州就有10名外国人因参与选举舞弊行为被起诉；他强调这个问题不应被视作党派之争的产物。这些被指控的非法选民来自巴西、加纳、德国、波斯尼亚-黑塞哥维那、利比里亚和加拿大。
On Wednesday, Attorney General Todd Blanche announced indictments of 10 foreign nationals accused of committing voter fraud in Minnesota alone, including during August's primary, saying the issue should not be a "partisan concept." The alleged illegal voters captured are from Brazil, Ghana, Germany, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Liberia and Canada.
加州民主党参议员亚历克斯·帕迪拉（Alex Padilla）同样认为非公民投票的行为“极为罕见”，同时谴责《SAVE法案》是“反选民”的法律，并声称特朗普试图将移民作为替罪羊。
Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., has similarly called noncitizen voting "extremely rare" while denouncing the SAVE Act as "anti-voter" and claiming Trump is trying to "scapegoat immigrants."
周三，当福克斯新闻数字频道（Fox News Digital）询问帕迪拉关于近期逮捕事件的情况时，他重申这种行为本身就是非法的，并强调所有权威研究都表明非公民投票极为罕见（尽管特朗普对此持相反观点）。“司法部在调查了全美1.74亿选民后逮捕了12人，这一事实进一步证明了这一点，”他说，并表示希望司法部能将重点放在德克萨斯州等州的选民登记延误问题上，以确保所有符合条件的选民都能顺利投票。
When asked Wednesday by Fox News Digital about the spate of arrests, Padilla reaffirmed the crime is "already illegal and every legitimate study shows it is extremely rare, despite Donald Trump’s claim to the contrary." "The Department of Justice’s arrest of a dozen people after investigating millions of the 174 millioned voters in America confirms that," he said, adding he wished DOJ would instead focus on reported delays in voter-registration processing in states like Texas to ensure every eligible voter can vote.
新泽西州民主党州长表示，在选民名单中发现了数千名非公民；帕迪拉称这次逮捕行动是共和党人为转移公众注意力而采取的“绝望手段”，目的是掩盖他们造成的高成本、社会混乱及腐败问题。纽约州民主党众议员乔·莫雷尔（Joe Morelle）称《SAVE法案》“极其危险”，属于对选民权利的压制行为。莫雷尔的办公室回应了福克斯新闻数字频道的采访，但在新闻发布前未发表进一步评论。
DEMOCRAT NEW JERSEY GOVERNOR SAYS THOUSANDS OF NONCITIZENS DISCOVERED ON VOTER ROLLS, PURGED Padilla called the recent announcement of 12 arrests a "desperate attempt by Republicans to distract from their record of rising costs, chaos, and corruption that are hurting the American people." Rep. Joe Morelle, D-N.Y., has called the SAVE Act "extremely dangerous" and "voter suppression." His office responded to Fox News Digital but did not offer comment before press time. Last month, Democratic Rep. James Walkinshaw of Fairfax County, Virginia, spoke out similarly on MSNOW.
上个月，弗吉尼亚州费尔法克斯县的民主党众议员詹姆斯·沃金肖（James Walkinshaw）也在MSNOW节目中表达了类似观点：“非公民投票的情况极为罕见，几乎无法被量化；这种事情根本不会发生，”他说，并推测特朗普试图通过类似的言论来掩盖自己在2020年大选中的失败。
"It is so rare that is almost impossible to measure. It just doesn’t happen," Walkinshaw said, surmising that Trump is trying to resurrect the "Big Lie" and "whining about the fact that he lost the 2020 election" by posturing to make similar claims after Republicans lose the midterms.
福克斯新闻数字频道还联系了沃金肖以及佛蒙特州民主党参议员伯尼·桑德斯（Bernie Sanders）；桑德斯早在3月就明确表示“非公民在美国选举中是没有投票权的”。新泽西州州长米基·谢里尔（Mikie Sherrill）也在今年夏天透露，该州约有400名非公民参与了投票，但她拒绝接受进一步联邦监管的要求。
Fox News Digital also sought comment from Walkinshaw and Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., who said in March that "noncitizens do not vote in American elections." New Jersey Gov. Mikie Sherrill also disclosed over the summer that roughly 400 noncitizens had voted in the state while resisting calls for additional federal scrutiny.
本月，新泽西州又有三名居民因非法投票以及在公民身份申请中提供虚假信息而被起诉。他们分别来自牙买加、委内瑞拉和塞内加尔。
Three New Jersey residents were also charged this month with illegally voting and making false statements on citizenship applications. They hailed from Jamaica, Venezuela and Senegal.
当被问及这一情况时，美国国土安全部（DHS）的一位发言人告诉 Fox News Digital，该部门无法对正在进行的调查发表评论，但表示将继续致力于“彻查并打击任何形式的选举舞弊行为”。
Asked about the dynamic, a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital the agency could not comment on active investigations but remains committed to "rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found," demonstrating proof.
“尽管媒体和民主党人士多年来一直否认这一事实，但非公民仍然在联邦选举中投票，”白宫发言人劳伦·比斯（Lauren Bis）对 Fox News Digital 说。她强调：“只有美国人才应该有权选举美国的领导人。”随着关键中期选举的临近，双方在这问题上的争论声浪正在逐渐加剧。
"Despite the media and Democrats denying it for decades, noncitizens continue to and vote in federal elections," White House spokesperson Lauren Bis told Fox News Digital.
