사법 · Voter-registration arrestsCalifornia voter arrests: 11 arrested, 28 charged in federal operation작성 2026년 10월 20일 오전 7:26 UTC시청방송 전문0:07Federal agents arrested 11 people in a statewide election crimes operation.0:12Prosecutors are pursuing allegations involving voter registration, voting, and0:16statements on citizenship applications in California.0:19The cases put individual defendants into criminal proceedings while federal and0:23state officials fight over voter eligibility.0:25What conduct do these cases involve, and how much of it concerns ballots actually0:29cast?0:30Federal agents arrested 11 people Monday, October 19th, in Operation Protect the0:34Vote.0:35Criminal complaints charge 28 people statewide.0:3828 is the charge total.0:39The announced arrest tally is 11, and everyone charged can't be assumed to be in0:43custody.0:44The defendants face accusations that prosecutors still have to prove.0:47The alleged offenses include fraudulent voter registration and false statements on0:51naturalization applications.0:52The applications people submit to become citizens.0:55Some allegations also involve illegal voting.0:57The operation reached Commerce in Los Angeles County, where federal agents were1:02working Monday morning.1:03The statewide charge total extends beyond that one location.1:06The federal announcement came from the prosecutor's office for the Central District1:10of California.1:11Federal authorities describe those arrested as lawful permanent residents.1:15That status allows someone to live permanently in the United States, but it's1:19different from citizenship.1:21A person's immigration status alone doesn't prove that they committed an election1:25offense.1:25A 72-year-old Belize-born man was reportedly arrested at his home in Commerce.1:30He's accused of illegally voting in four elections.1:33That allegation places four elections at issue in his case.1:37Prosecutors still have to prove the conduct they allege.1:40For that man, the immediate consequence is an arrest and criminal proceedings.1:43His case will turn on what he personally did and what the government can prove about1:47it.1:48His age and birthplace don't resolve those questions.1:50Registering puts someone on the voter rolls.1:53Casting a ballot is a separate act.1:54A false statement on a citizenship application concerns another document.1:58Prosecutors need evidence for each allegation, including any knowledge or intent the2:03charge requires.2:03The statewide totals don't tell us how many defendants fall into each category.2:08Treating every registration accusation as an accusation of casting a ballot would2:11inflate what these cases actually allege.2:14The Justice Department sued California four days before the arrests, on October2:1815th.2:19That civil case concerns voter records and ballots the government alleges were sent2:23to people it considered likely to be non-citizens.2:26The civil lawsuit and the criminal complaints each require their own evidence.2:30An allegation about the state's voter list doesn't settle whether a particular2:34defendant registered unlawfully or voted illegally.2:37Federal officials alleged that more than 20,000 likely non-citizens were registered2:41in California.2:42California's Secretary of State rejected the related ballot allegation, saying the2:45administration had supplied no evidence supporting it.2:48That screening figure counts people the government flagged as likely non-citizens.2:52It doesn't count proven illegal votes.2:54The criminal operation has its own figures, 11 arrests and 28 people charged.2:59We don't yet know how many of those 28 cases allege actual voting.3:03The individual complaints and subsequent court proceedings will set out each3:06person's alleged conduct and test whether prosecutors can prove it.기사 읽기스토리 타임라인HeyDex짧은 영상 ↗누가 무엇을 보도했나둘 이상의 매체가 보도한 항목Number of arrests announced or made Monday언론사
