Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency has made waves across Washington.
The Beltway thought the threat was fading away, but it just roared back to life .
And Donald Trump’s DOGE just announced a shocking pivot that should have leftists worried sick about 2028.
DOGE brings the heat on election integrity
For years, Democrats have insisted that illegal voting by non-citizens is so rare it’s practically non-existent.
They’ve laughed off concerns about election integrity and blocked commonsense measures to verify citizenship at the polls.
But President Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) is putting those claims to the test — and the results are sending shockwaves through the political establishment.
DOGE has turned its powerful data analysis capabilities toward identifying non-citizens who illegally cast ballots in American elections, and they’re already finding disturbing cases.
“The DOGE team has referred 57 cases of illegal aliens voting in the 2024 general election” to the Justice Department, according to DOGE adviser Katie Miller in a recent social media post.
Federal prosecutors taking action
The Justice Department is now bringing charges based on DOGE’s findings.
In Florida, Ukrainian mother and daughter Svitlana and Yelyzaveta Demydenko — both legal permanent residents but not citizens — have been charged after they registered online last summer and cast early ballots.
When questioned, the daughter justified her illegal vote by saying she “wanted to make a difference,” while the mother claimed she voted “to support the country.”
Also in Florida, Jamaican national Jacqueline Dianne Wallace was charged with making a false claim of citizenship to vote. She entered the U.S. on a six-month visitor’s visa in 2010 but never left, making her presence illegal.
In New York, an Iraqi man named Akeel Abdul Jamiel was charged with voting illegally in Saratoga County during the 2020 election.
Perhaps most shocking was the case in Maryland, where authorities charged a Colombian man who had been deported three times in the 1970s and 1980s. After sneaking back into the country, he assumed a fraudulent identity using a bogus Puerto Rican birth certificate and voted in both the 2020 and 2024 elections.
Breaking down information silos
What makes DOGE’s approach revolutionary is how it’s breaking down the information silos that previously prevented agencies from connecting the dots.
- Christian Adams, who used to work in the Justice Department’s voting rights section and now runs the Public Interest Legal Foundation, praised the administration’s efforts.
“Fourteen years ago, when I talked about people getting on the voter rolls as non-citizens, it was a laugh line. In 2025, people who say it doesn’t happen — that’s the laugh line,” Adams said. “Everybody knows it’s happening; it’s only a question of how bad and what are we going to do about it.”
The Trump Administration has put DOGE’s data-crunching capabilities to work and ordered the Department of Homeland Security to make its databases available to those investigating voter identities.
“Data is being mined, developed. That never in the past had been attempted,” Adams explained.
Democrats downplay concerns
Predictably, Democrats and left-wing groups are already trying to minimize these findings.
Omar Noureldin, senior vice president at Common Cause, expressed concern about DOGE accessing “sensitive information” and claimed the prosecutions were just a messaging ploy to support the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act, which would require proof of citizenship for those registering to vote in national elections.
“I don’t think five cases is evidence of a systemswide problem,” Noureldin told The Washington Times.
But the DOGE team has made it clear — they’re just getting started. The 57 cases referred to the Justice Department came from examining just a small sample of states.
With President Trump’s commitment to election integrity and DOGE’s powerful data analysis capabilities, there’s likely more to come as they expand their investigation.
Democrats’ worst nightmare
For years, the Left has fought against voter ID laws, proof of citizenship requirements, and other election integrity measures by claiming that voter fraud is virtually non-existent.
DOGE’s findings are systematically dismantling that narrative, case by case.
And with Trump’s team just beginning this work, the question becomes how many more illegal voters will be uncovered in the months ahead.
