Virginia’s attorney general has accused the Department of Homeland Security of potentially breaking state laws following allegations that its employees falsified identities on voter registration databases to identify noncitizen voters. The claims stem from a whistleblower’s report detailing concerns over how federal agents accessed and used these tools. Legal scrutiny now surrounds whether the agency overstepped its authority in targeting voter records. The case raises broader questions about federal-state cooperation in election integrity efforts.


Virginia's attorney general said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security may have violated several state laws after a whistleblower accused its employees of misrepresenting themselves on voter lookup tools to hunt for noncitizen voters.
