(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Washington, DC — The Department of Homeland Security has acknowledged in federal court that its program for identifying alleged noncitizen voters can mistakenly flag American citizens, adding to concerns over the Trump administration’s expanded voter-fraud enforcement effort. The admission came in litigation challenging DHS’s Unlawful Voter Initiative. According to court filings cited by Reason, officials identified “potential inaccuracies” in the system and acknowledged that, in rare circumstances, U.S. citizens could be incorrectly classified as noncitizens. The problem is not theoretical. DHS initially told Nevada that 15,903 possible noncitizens appeared on the state’s voter rolls. That number was later reduced to 185 names, and subsequent review found all 185 were U.S. citizens. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The initiative compares voter records against immigration databases and can generate investigative leads entered into TECS, a federal law-enforcement system used by Customs and Border Protection and other agencies. DHS documents describe TECS as a platform used to share law-enforcement and inspection information among federal, state, local, tribal and international partners. DHS says safeguards exist to prevent agents from mistakenly contacting citizens, but the filings leave unanswered what happens to Americans already entered into TECS because of erroneous matches. The case adds to broader questions about an administration effort aimed at a form of illegal voting that research and past election audits have repeatedly found to be rare.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); WASHINGTON, D.C. — Republican Sen. Rand Paul says the Department of Homeland Security still has not provided Congress with investigative findings on the fatal January shootings of U.S. citizens Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis. Paul, chairman of the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, told Politico that his panel continues seeking the information. “We’ve asked for information. We’re still asking,” he said, according to the Washington Examiner. The shootings occurred during the Trump administration’s Operation Metro Surge and triggered national scrutiny of ICE tactics and DHS’s public accounts of enforcement encounters. Paul previously withheld action on an ICE director nominee while demanding updates on civilian deaths involving immigration officers. AP reported last week that Paul said he remained “still waiting” for DHS to provide the requested internal-investigation information. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); The demand comes amid broader concerns about transparency in Minneapolis enforcement cases. In a separate January shooting, ICE officer Christian Castro has been charged federally with lying to the FBI after prosecutors said video contradicted his claim that he was attacked before firing through a residence door. Castro has pleaded not guilty. DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin, who replaced Kristi Noem, told senators during his confirmation process that he wanted to restore confidence in the department and acknowledged that he had previously made an inappropriate characterization of Pretti.
