Honduran Migrant Arrested For Registering to Vote and Falsely Claiming to Be a US Citizen

The thing that never happens just happened again!

A Honduran migrant was arrested in California on Friday morning for registering to vote and falsely claiming to be a US citizen.

Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores was taken into custody and charged with two felonies.

California has zero voter ID laws and registers voters at the DMV. Illegal aliens and other non-citizens can get driver’s licenses in California.

Flores is in the US legally; however, he is not a US citizen and therefore cannot vote in federal elections.

If convicted, Flores faces deportation

Full statement from First Assistant US Attorney Bill Essayli:

This morning we arrested and federally charged a Honduran national for unlawfully registering to vote in California and falsely claiming to be a U.S. citizen.

Darwin Jonathan Rivera Flores, 30, of Winnetka, is charged with two felonies and faces deportation if convicted.

Because states like California allow non-citizens to easily register to vote and receive a ballot by mail, there is no telling how many non-citizens are currently registered.

It is time for California to comply with @AAGDhillon’s request for a comprehensive audit of its voter rolls to protect the integrity of our elections.
