CA voter fraud bust: 28 charged | Veteran homelessness nears record low | VICTORY NEWS | 10/20/26

/in , /by



The Justice Department has charged 28 California green card holders with election crimes, and veteran homelessness is on track to hit a record low.

Federal prosecutors charged 28 lawful permanent residents in California with crimes including fraudulent voter registration and voting by a noncitizen. The sweep, called “Operation Protect the Vote,” involved all four U.S. attorney’s offices in the state, and 11 people were arrested Oct. 19. The charges follow a federal list of more than 20,000 likely noncitizen registrants that the government gave California on Oct. 13. The state declined to help set aside those voters’ mail-in ballots, and the Justice Department sued. All defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.

Veteran homelessness fell 8.2 percent in 2026, the largest drop in a decade, according to a new analysis of early data. That puts the count on track to fall below 30,000 for the first time since 2009.
