跟进:联邦大陪审团起诉3名曾在加州登记投票的外国公民 指其在入籍申请中作假陈述

美国司法部加州中区联邦检察官办公室10月28日宣布,位于加州橙县 Santa Ana 的联邦大陪审团当天起诉三名住在洛杉矶县的外国公民,指控三人在入籍申请中宣誓作假陈述:声称自己从未冒称美国公民、从未在美国选举中登记投票,但实际上都曾在加州登记投票。
三名被告分别被三份独立起诉书指控一项「在入籍申请中宣誓作假陈述」罪名:Sulema de León,35岁,墨西哥籍,住 Long Beach;Rouzbeh Seyamaknejad,63岁,加拿大籍,住 Rancho Palos Verdes;Butleng Taing,43岁,柬埔寨籍,住 Long Beach。
据起诉书,de León 于2019年9月在入籍申请中宣誓称从未以任何方式冒称美国公民、从未在任何联邦、州或地方选举中登记投票;事实上,她于2013年6月在加州登记投票,当时宣誓自称美国公民,并在2020年11月大选中投了票。
Seyamaknejad 被指于2024年1月在入籍表格中作同样的假陈述;事实上,他于2018年12月在加州登记投票,当时宣誓自称美国公民。Taing 被指于2025年8月在入籍表格中作假陈述;事实上,他于2021年7月在加州登记投票,并参加了2022年11月与2024年11月两次大选投票。
第一助理联邦检察官 Bill Essayli 表示,大陪审团已经开始对登记投票的非公民陆续提出起诉,其中包括曾在以往选举中投票的人;维护选举公正仍是该办公室的首要任务之一,办公室将继续调查并起诉选举欺诈。
三起案件由国土安全调查局(HSI)调查,助理联邦检察官 Michael Wheat 与 Minjae Kim 负责起诉。起诉书仅为指控,三名被告在法院证明有罪之前均被推定无罪;如被定罪,每人面临的法定最高刑期为五年联邦监禁。
本站此前报道,司法部10月19日宣布「保护投票」行动、加州28名绿卡持有人被控非法登记投票;本案是该线的新进展,大陪审团已就其中部分个案正式提出起诉,并新增此前未具名的被告。

Follow-Up: Federal Grand Jury Indicts 3 Foreign Nationals Who Registered to Vote in California, Charging False Statements on Naturalization Forms
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced on October 28 that a federal grand jury in Santa Ana, Orange County, California, indicted three foreign nationals living in Los Angeles County, charging them with knowingly lying under oath on their naturalization applications by falsely declaring that they had never claimed to be U.S. citizens and had never registered to vote in U.S. elections.
The three defendants are charged in three separate indictments with making a false statement under oath on a naturalization application: Sulema de León, 35, a Mexican national, of Long Beach; Rouzbeh Seyamaknejad, 63, a Canadian national, of Rancho Palos Verdes; and Butleng Taing, 43, a Cambodian national, also of Long Beach.
According to the indictments, de León in September 2019 declared under penalty of perjury that she had never claimed to be a U.S. citizen and had never registered to vote in any federal, state, or local election. In fact, she registered to vote in California in June 2013, falsely declaring under oath then that she was a U.S. citizen, and she voted in the November 2020 general election.
Seyamaknejad is charged with making false statements on his naturalization form in January 2024; in fact, he registered to vote in California in December 2018, falsely declaring under oath that he was a United States citizen. Taing is charged over his August 2025 naturalization form; he registered to vote in California in July 2021 and voted in the general elections in November 2022 and November 2024.
First Assistant United States Attorney Bill Essayli said the grand jury has started returning indictments against noncitizens who registered to vote, including those who voted in prior elections, and that safeguarding the integrity of elections remains a top priority for his office.
Homeland Security Investigations is investigating the cases, and Assistant United States Attorneys Michael Wheat and Minjae Kim are prosecuting them. An indictment merely contains allegations, and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. If convicted, the defendants would face a statutory maximum sentence of five years in federal prison.
GSM previously reported the Justice Department's October 19 Operation Protect the Vote charges against 28 green-card holders in California; these indictments are a new stage in that line, with the grand jury now formally charging individual cases, including defendants not previously named.
