A Liberian man who allegedly falsely claimed U.S. citizenship while working as a corrections officer in Minnesota was arrested in January, the Department of Homeland Security announced Wednesday. The arrest of Morris Brown, 45, was part of Operation Twin, targeting immigration violations, including overstaying a student visa, according to Fox News. Meanwhile, the Trump administration is intensifying efforts to investigate voting by noncitizens, despite finding it rare, as reported by The New York Times.
Brown's arrest on January 15th was for multiple immigration violations, including falsely claiming U.S. citizenship, according to Fox News. He had also been AWOL from the Pennsylvania National Guard. The Department of Homeland Security did not provide further details on the investigation.
Simultaneously, Homeland Security Investigations, an arm of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, issued a memo requiring employees to review voter fraud cases involving immigrants who registered or voted before becoming naturalized citizens, as reported by The New York Times. This effort aligns with President Trump's claims of widespread illegal voting by undocumented immigrants.
