The US Department of Justice indicted 10 individuals in Minnesota on Wednesday on charges related to noncitizen voting, marking the sixth such announcement this month as the Trump administration continues to pursue allegations of voter fraud raised by the president.
Attorney General Todd Blanche and Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin said the 10 individuals were charged with making false claims about their citizenship in order to vote, or with voting despite not being US citizens.
The indictments come as part of a broader pattern of enforcement actions the administration has pursued this month, part of its ongoing effort to highlight concerns about voter fraud.
The announcement arrives five weeks ahead of the November 3 midterm elections, a period in which the administration has stepped up its focus on voting-related prosecutions.
Further details about the specific allegations against each of the 10 defendants were not provided in the available report.
