DOJ charges 28 in California with election-related voting crimes

The Justice Department charged 28 people in California with election-related offenses, including allegations that some illegally registered and voted as noncitizens. Federal agents arrested 11 noncitizens Monday morning in an operation called "Protect the Vote." The action follows a DOJ lawsuit against California and an emergency court request to stop the state from processing ballots from voters flagged as likely noncitizens. California Attorney General Rob Bonta said the number shows "there is no widespread voter fraud."
