国土安全部（DHS）部长马克韦恩·马林警告非公民不要在中期选举中投票，称该部门将“追捕”任何投下选票的人。
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin is warning noncitizens not to vote in the midterms, saying the department will “hunt down” any who cast ballots.
“如果你在这个国家非法投票，且你没有资格投票，@DHSgov 将找到你，追捕你，并将依法对你进行最大程度的起诉，”马林在社交平台 X 上发帖写道。“只有美国公民应该决定美国的选举。”
“If you vote illegally in this country, and you are NOT eligible to vote, @DHSgov will find you, hunt you down, and you will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” Mullin wrote in a post to the social platform X. “Only American citizens should be deciding American elections.”Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) shared a similar message on social media, writing, “There will be no escape.”
移民与海关执法局（ICE）在社交媒体上发布了类似信息，写道：“无路可逃。”非公民在联邦选举中投票属于违法，尽管一些地方和州允许非公民在地方选举中投票。
It is illegal for noncitizens to cast ballots in federal elections, though some localities and states allow noncitizens to vote in local races. The Trump administration has made a forceful effort to remove noncitizens from voter rolls in the midterms, sending threatening letters to election officials and even taking some to court over a refusal to turn over their voter roll information.
特朗普政府大力推动在中期选举中将非公民从选民名册中清除，向选举官员发送威胁信函，甚至因拒绝移交选民名册信息而将部分官员告上法庭。
The Department of Justice (DOJ) accused California of having more than 20,000 “likely noncitizens” on its voter rolls, a claim which has been disputed by outside analyses.
司法部（DOJ）指控加利福尼亚州选民名册上有超过 2 万名“极有可能是非公民”的人，这一说法遭到外部分析的质疑。一名联邦法官裁定，特朗普政府必须停止以刑事起诉相威胁加利福尼亚州选举官员。
A federal judge ruled that the Trump administration had to stop threatening California election officials with criminal prosecution. DHS has repeatedly claimed that states, mainly Democratic ones, have thousands of noncitizens on their voter rolls.
国土安全部多次声称，各州（主要是民主党执政的州）的选民名册上有数千名非公民。但联邦层面没有包含所有美国公民名单的数据库，且记录可能不准确或已过时。
But there is no federal database containing a list of every U.S. citizen, and records can be inaccurate or out of date. The New York Times reported in September that DHS accused Nevada of having nearly 16,000 possible noncitizens on its voter rolls, a number that was revised down to 185.
《纽约时报》9 月报道称，国土安全部指控内华达州选民名册上有近 1.6 万名可能的非公民，该数字后来修正为 185 名。内华达州官员调查后发现，这 185 人全都是美国公民。多项研究发现，非公民投票在美国选举中并不普遍。
When Nevada officials investigated, they found that all 185 were U.S. citizens. Multiple studies have found that noncitizen voting is not widespread in U.S. elections. New Jersey did identify instances of noncitizen voting earlier this year, which was due to a software glitch.
新泽西州今年早些时候确实发现了非公民投票的情况，这是由于软件故障造成的。超过6000人被错误登记，但实际投票的不足400人。州长米基·谢里尔（民主党人）表示，在她获知此事后，该州已纠正了这一错误。
More than 6,000 were erroneously registered, but less than 400 actually cast ballots. The Garden State addressed the error once Gov. Mikie Sherrill (D) was notified, the governor said. Some Democrats and Trump critics hit back at ICE and DHS for their posts warning noncitizens Tuesday.
一些民主党人和特朗普的批评者周二针对移民与海关执法局（ICE）和国土安全部（DHS）发布的警告非公民的帖子进行了反击。加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森（民主党-加利福尼亚州）讽刺说，如果该机构出现在投票站，他将起诉ICE。
Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-Calif.) quipped that he would prosecute ICE if the agency showed up to the polls. “If YOU show up to the polls illegally, we will find you. We will track you down, arrest you, and prosecute you,” Newsom wrote back on X, matching the language ICE used.
纽森在X平台上回复道，使用了与ICE相同的措辞：“如果你们非法出现在投票站，我们会找到你们。我们会追踪你们，逮捕你们，并起诉你们。你们将无路可逃。”前众议员亚当·金辛格（共和党-伊利诺伊州）在X平台上回复道：“小心！！ICE将驱逐那些真正这样做的寥寥数人。”中期选举的最后投票正在进行中，首批投票站将于美国东部时间下午6点关闭。
“There will be no escape.”“Watch out!! ICE is gonna deport the literally dozens of people who do this,” former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) replied on The final voting of the midterms is underway, and the first polls close at 6 p.m. EST.
