ICE Arrests Australian Accused of Illegally Voting in U.S. Elections

An Australian woman faces federal charges in the United States after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigation revealed she allegedly voted illegally in multiple federal elections. Denise Nataly Migliore, 51, was indicted on June 11 with four counts, including illegal voting and making false statements to register to vote.

Prosecutors claim Migliore knowingly provided false information about her U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections in October 2022 and October 2024. She subsequently cast ineligible ballots on November 8, 2022, and November 5, 2024, as she is not a U.S. citizen. Migliore was arrested at a federal courthouse in New Orleans on July 1.
