Senators Demand USCIS Release 2,176 Names to Iowa Secretary of State Amid Biden-Harris Administration's Delay

Nov 2, 2024, 04:12 PM

Senators Joni Ernst and Chuck Grassley have demanded that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) release voter data to the Iowa Secretary of State, Paul Pate. The senators are concerned that over 2,176 self-reported non-citizens may be allowed to vote in the upcoming election. Despite repeated requests, the USCIS has not provided the necessary information, leading to frustration among the senators. The data is reportedly ready at the Des Moines field office, but the Biden-Harris administration has not authorized its release. Representative Dale Strong has introduced the Deport Illegal Voters Act, aiming to expedite the removal of non-citizens convicted of voting illegally. With Election Day approaching, the senators emphasize the urgency of securing the election process.
