Federal agents have knocked on doors in some states to check on citizenship and voter status as the midterm elections approach, according to a CBS News report. The report, by Nicole Sganga, describes the visits as raising concerns about voter suppression by the Trump administration, according to its summary. The summary does not say who raised those concerns or name the states involved.
In a separate report, ABC News said that most of the immigrants targeted by federal authorities in California this week for alleged voter fraud had applied for U.S. citizenship. According to its wire story on the targeting, those people now face charges related to lying on forms or during interviews. The summary does not give the number of people charged.
The ABC News headline calls the effort an “illegal voting crackdown” by the Trump administration. The summary of the same story refers only to federal authorities and alleged voter fraud in California.
The two reports do not establish whether the California cases are part of the door visits described by CBS News. The CBS News summary refers to some states without naming them, and the ABC News summary refers to California. Neither summary gives the number of people visited or contacted, and neither includes a response from the administration.
