Donald Trump's administration is checking whether foreigners are voting in California

Local election officials in California have received subpoenas to testify before a federal grand jury regarding voter eligibility checks. The subpoenas target officials from Los Angeles County, focusing on preventing non-citizens from voting. The Biden administration aims to demonstrate that illegal voting occurs, particularly in Democratic-controlled states. Dean Logan, head of the Los Angeles election office, criticized the subpoenas as intimidation. A federal judge recently rejected a Trump administration request to block counting votes from approximately 20,000 individuals suspected of not being U.S. citizens, citing unreliable federal data. The Justice Department plans to appeal this ruling.
