The U.S. Department of Homeland Security announced charges against Yupeng Sun, a Chinese national, for fraudulent voter registration and voting in the 2024 presidential election. Sun impersonated another legal permanent resident (LPR) in Massachusetts to register and cast a ballot on October 31, 2024. He also falsely accused the victim of illegal voting and submitted fraudulent forms to USCIS in April 2024, leading to the victim’s removal proceedings. HSI New England arrested Sun on August 19. Each charge carries up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, and a $250,000 fine. Secretary Markwayne Mullin emphasized election security as national security, stating only U.S. citizens should elect leaders. The case is part of broader efforts to prevent non-citizens from voting, including recent arrests and policy changes by DHS and DOJ.
