US Charges Nigerians for Illegal Voting and Fraudulent Claims
The United States Department of Justice has charged two Nigerians, Mohammed Omar Hassan, 61, and Michael Agah, 74, along with dozens of other foreign nationals, with illegal voting and fraudulent voter registration. Both are lawful permanent residents of the US.
Hassan was charged in the Southern District of Texas for voting as a non-US citizen in the 2022 and 2024 elections. Agah was charged in the Western District of North Carolina for voting as a non-US citizen and falsely claiming US citizenship on an Authorization to Vote Form, which he used to vote in a federal election on November 5, 2024.
Attorney General Todd Blanche stated that these charges represent the largest surge in voter-fraud arrests since President Trump returned to office. The Department of Justice has charged 195 non-US citizens with illegal voting and registration offenses in the preceding nine weeks, totaling 239 since the beginning of the administration.
