US Immigration and Customs Enforcement reviewed nearly 99 million records as part of a Department of Homeland Security initiative to identify noncitizens suspected of illegally voting, according to records released Wednesday by advocacy group Democracy Forward.
A June 1 Homeland Security Investigations report said investigators analyzed 50.6 million records from a Justice Department dataset and another 48.4 million records obtained by Heather Honey, a senior counselor to Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin.
Democracy Forward President Skye Perryman criticized the initiative, saying it appeared aimed at influencing who could participate in elections.
Separately, HSI undercover agents infiltrated a Minneapolis group known as the Rapid Response Network during anti-ICE demonstrations, with authorities saying the operation produced intelligence about alleged efforts targeting federal law enforcement officers.
The records provide new details about the scale of the federal investigation into suspected noncitizen voting.
