The US Department of Homeland Security is conducting a weeks-long search for non-citizens among the country’s registered voters, despite there being no evidence of widespread voter fraud.

The operation has focused on identifying non-citizens listed on voter registers, although the material does not indicate that widespread fraud has been found.
Reporter Hamed Aleaziz has examined why the Department of Homeland Security has become involved in elections and how the agency is carrying out its search.
