DHS agents told to misrepresent themselves hunting fraud in nine states, find seven noncitizens total
“They sent hundreds of federal agents into nine states with permission to lie about who they are and break state law, hunting a nationwide conspiracy of illegal voters. The whole haul, so far, is seven people in one corner of Texas. That's not law enforcement, that's a fishing trip where the fish are your neighbors and the net is illegal in every state they dragged it through.”
“Look, if there's fraud anywhere, due diligence means you check everywhere, that's just responsible governance — nine states, that's thoroughness, not overreach. And seven confirmed cases proves the system works, catches real fraud, exactly as designed — did I say seven proves it works? I meant seven is obviously just what we've found so far, the real number's out there, that's the whole justification for the other eight states... wait, that's not landing the way I wanted it to.”
