ICE arrests illegal migrant who allegedly fraudulently voted in seven federal elections

The Department of Homeland Security has announced the arrest of an illegal migrant who allegedly voted in seven federal elections since 2008, despite being deported over 20 years ago.DHS said Mahady Sacko, who came to the United States illegally from the African country of Mauritania, was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers and the FBI in Philadelphia. He has been charged with voter fraud.
“This criminal illegal alien committed a felony by voting in federal elections dating back to 2008. Illegal aliens should NOT be electing American leaders,” Deputy Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement. “Our elections belong to American citizens, not foreign citizens. Congress must pass the SAVE America Act immediately to secure our elections.”
The department said Sacko entered the U.S. near Miami and he was deported in 2002 after exhausting all appeals of a deportation order. It was not immediately clear when he returned to the U.S. 
The arrest comes after two Pakistani illegal migrants were charged with voter fraud in New Jersey in January, after they allegedly voted in the 2020 presidential election and made false statements while applying for United States citizenship.
