WATCH: Trump Announces Release of DHS Investigation Showing Nearly 300,000 Foreigners Are Illegally Registered to Vote – DHS Says They Found 400,000 DEAD Voters

President Trump revealed that at least 278,000 foreigners are illegally registered to vote in American elections during his major primetime address on foreign election interference on Thursday. 

In addition to the massive Chinese voter data breach, affecting 220 million US voters, China’s massive influence campaign, manipulation of voting machines, and a complicit deep state intelligence community, Trump announced the results of a Department of Homeland Security investigation into states’ voter rolls.

“According to the DHS review, state voter rolls, and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections,” Trump said.

“Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that. Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote. Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it.”

The President continued, “Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls, and yet we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.”

WATCH:

Trump: Finally, to reveal just how vulnerable our elections continue to be, we are releasing the results of a stunning investigation by the Department of Homeland Security. According to the DHS review, state voter rolls, and public records, they identified approximately 278,000 non-citizens who are registered to vote in federal elections.

Since Democrat states refuse to share their voter files, the real number is actually much higher than that. Yet, even this limited analysis found more than a quarter of a million foreigners illegally registered to vote. Put together, these disclosures reveal an election system so broken and so vulnerable that no one can possibly defend it.

It is not defensible. Hundreds of millions of U.S. voter files are in the hands of foreign governments. Our machines and ballot counting systems are exposed to hacking and manipulation and corruption. China and other countries have been trying to meddle in our elections. Evidence of fraud has been buried.

Hundreds of thousands of non-citizens and dead people are listed and active on the voter rolls, and yet we still have elections with no voter ID, no proof of citizenship, and tens of millions of ballots floating aimlessly through the mail.

According to one of the documents released by DHS, the 278,000 illegal voters were found across just four states that provided the public data files to federal officials.

Additionally, “In the short time that the enhanced SAVE system has been available to states, 10 have states processed their full voter lists,” the report states. “As of June 22, 2026, a total of 25 different states processed more than 68 million registration records through the SAVE system,” and DHS has found over 400,000 deceased registrants and over 28,000 non-citizens were discovered

“There is an undeniable pattern emerging as DHS begins to unravel the horrific damage done by the open border policies of the Biden administration. States that have adopted alien-first policies instead of American-first policies have a disproportionate number of non-citizens on their voter rolls,” the report states.

The Department of Homeland Security announced last week that states could be eligible for a Homeland Security Grant Program funding opportunity if they “use the reliable and free U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) system to verify the citizenship status of everyone listed in the state voter registration database.”

The report further reads,

As demonstrated by the sample data to the right, these states are serious about ensuring that only US citizens vote in US elections. DHS applauds their efforts to prevent non-citizens from registering and to remove ineligible registrants who unlawfully register.

Several other proactive state officials have also signed Memoranda of Agreement with USCIS to utilize the SAVE system and have processed portions of their state voter rolls. Unfortunately, due to the actions of the activist Judge Sparkle Sooknanan, many of the enhancements to this service of USCIS have been suspended pending appeal. As a result, US citizens are at risk of having their votes diluted by ineligible alien voters.

UNAMBIGUOUS CONTRAST: There is an undeniable pattern emerging as DHS begins to unravel the horrific damage done by the open border policies of the Biden administration. States that have adopted alien-first policies instead of American-first policies have a disproportionate number of non-citizens on their voter rolls.

“State election officials in California, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Nevada have been notified of this serious threat to national security and DHS stands ready to support their efforts to identify and remove ineligible registrants. The investigation is expanding to include multiple additional states,” the report further notes. “In addition, DHS will support the Department of Justice’s review of voter files obtained pursuant to their enforcement authority under the National Voter Registration Act of 1993 and the Help America Vote Act of 2002.”
