佛州五名绿卡持有人被捕:被控在2022年与2024年选举中非法投票

美国国土安全部(DHS)10月26日发表声明:移民与海关执法局(ICE)下属国土安全调查局(HSI)于10月21日与22日在佛罗里达州逮捕五名非美国公民,五人均为合法永久居民(绿卡持有人),被控以非公民身份在以往选举中非法投票。案件由佛罗里达州中区联邦检察官办公室对外宣布。
五人分别是:来自加拿大的 Diane Wendy Curley,10月21日被捕,被控在2022年与2024年投票;她此前有拒捕(不带暴力)与殴打执法人员定罪记录,另有家庭暴力殴打与违反家暴保护令的被捕记录,1994年取得绿卡。来自古巴的 Luis Manuel Perez,10月21日被捕,被控在2022年与2024年投票;他1981年非法入境,1985年取得绿卡,此前有殴打被捕记录。来自古巴的 Jaimie Orlando Sosa Sardina,10月22日被捕,被控2022年登记投票并在2022年与2024年投票;他1968年取得绿卡,此前有两项重殴警察、暴力拒捕与扰乱治安定罪记录,另有敲诈勒索(RICO)与两项可卡因贩运重罪的被捕记录。来自巴西的 Pedro Igor Almeida Franco,10月21日被捕,被控在2024年投票,2005年取得绿卡。来自加拿大的 Lise Marie Johnson,10月22日被捕,被控2021年登记投票并在2022年投票,2015年取得绿卡。
国土安全部长 Markwayne Mullin 在声明中表示,每有一名非公民投票,就等于夺走一名勤劳的美国公民的一票,特朗普政府致力于恢复选举公正,确保只有美国公民能选出美国的领导人。
国土安全部称,这次逮捕是本届政府阻止非公民在美国选举中投票的整体行动的一部分:今年9月与10月,HSI 与联邦调查局已先后在明尼苏达州起诉十名非公民非法投票,并在北卡罗来纳州逮捕十人;新泽西、密苏里、宾夕法尼亚、堪萨斯等州也都有同类案件。今年6月,国土安全部已指示 ICE 对非法投票的非公民执行更严厉处罚,包括驱逐出境。佛州这五人的案件后续将由联邦法院审理。

Five Green Card Holders Arrested in Florida, Charged with Illegally Voting in 2022 and 2024 Elections
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) said in a statement on October 26 that Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), part of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), arrested five non-citizens in Florida on October 21 and 22, all of them lawful permanent residents, charged with voting by an alien in past elections. The arrests were announced by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Middle District of Florida.
The five are: Diane Wendy Curley of Canada, arrested October 21 and charged with voting in 2022 and 2024; her record includes convictions for resisting an officer without violence and battery on a law enforcement officer, and arrests for domestic-violence battery and violating a domestic-violence injunction; she became an LPR in 1994. Luis Manuel Perez of Cuba, arrested October 21 and charged with voting in 2022 and 2024; he entered the United States illegally in 1981, became an LPR in 1985, and has a prior arrest for battery. Jaimie Orlando Sosa Sardina of Cuba, arrested October 22 and charged with registering in 2022 and voting in 2022 and 2024; an LPR since 1968, he has convictions for two counts of aggravated battery on a police officer, resisting with violence and disturbing the peace, and arrests for a felony RICO violation and two counts of cocaine trafficking. Pedro Igor Almeida Franco of Brazil, arrested October 21 and charged with voting in 2024; an LPR since 2005. Lise Marie Johnson of Canada, arrested October 22 and charged with registering in 2021 and voting in 2022; an LPR since 2015.
"Every time a non-citizen votes, it steals the vote of a hard-working American citizen," DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin said in the statement, adding that the Trump Administration is committed to restoring election integrity and making sure only American citizens elect America's leaders.
DHS said the arrests are part of a broader administration effort against non-citizen voting: in September and October, HSI and the FBI indicted ten non-citizens in Minnesota and arrested ten in North Carolina, with similar cases in New Jersey, Missouri, Pennsylvania and Kansas. In June, DHS directed ICE to enforce stricter penalties for non-citizens who vote illegally, including deportation. The five Florida cases will proceed in federal court.
