A lawful permanent resident from Australia was arrested after she allegedly illegally voted in federal elections<\/a> in Louisiana, according to officials.<\/p>\n

Denise Nataly Migliore, 51, was charged in a four-count indictment last month with making false statements to register to vote and illegal voting in an election, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana said.<\/p>\n

In October 2022 and October 2024, she knowingly made false claims about her U.S. citizenship to register to vote in a federal election, prosecutors said.<\/p>\n

In November of each of those years, she allegedly cast ballots after falsely certifying that she was a U.S. citizen and eligible to vote.<\/p>\n

Migliore was ineligible to vote because she was not a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n

On July 1, Homeland Security Investigations<\/a> arrested Migliore at the federal courthouse in New Orleans after an investigation by Immigration and Customs Enforcement.<\/p>\n

“This alien from Australia now faces federal charges for falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen and illegally casting ballots in two elections,” acting Assistant DHS Secretary of Public Affairs Lauren Bis said in a statement. “Her arrest and charges are the result of the hard work of the men and women of ICE law enforcement and our federal partners.<\/p>\n

“Our message to aliens who vote in American elections is clear: We will find you, arrest you and you will face the consequences, including criminal charges and deportation. Only Americans should be electing American leaders.”<\/p>\n
