Donald Trump is using an increasing amount of the Department of Homeland Security’s time and resources trying to uncover disputed claims of voter fraud. Part of the HSI’s remit involves probing whether naturalized U.S. citizens registered or voted, or launching removal proceedings when a noncitizen is suspected of or linked to voter fraud. Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin has turbo-sped the DHS efforts to help Trump's election fraud since he took over the department in March. Agents were also bothering local election officials while trying to prove Trump’s election fraud claims, often with little or no information to back them up. One agent tasked under Trump’s second term even admitted that "voter fraud investigations aren’t typically what HSI works.”
