According to records obtained byAxios, HSI agents requested specific voter data from Webb County officials in May.
The files, which can include registration history, addresses, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, and voting history, were provided.
In North Carolina, a separate HSI request last November sought registration information for two individual voters in Forsyth County, and those records were also turned over.
This move follows President Donald Trump’s executive order directing federal agencies to strengthen citizenship verification in elections and crack down on illegal voting.
The administration has made rooting out noncitizen voting a priority, arguing that even small numbers of ineligible votes undermine election integrity.
DHS has been actively promoting the use of the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, which allows states to check the citizenship status of registered voters against federal immigration records.
Webb County Election Administrator Jose Castillo told Axios that he had not previously received such requests from federal immigration authorities. He claimed that in his four years on the job, he had seen only two confirmed cases of noncitizen voting among more than 150,000 voters in the county.
Castillo said he is now directing HSI to submit future requests through public records channels rather than direct inquiries.
A DHS spokesperson confirmed that HSI is actively investigating election fraud and stated that the agency has repeatedly demonstrated that illegal aliens can and do vote in elections.
“While ICE Homeland Security Investigations is not able to comment on any active investigations, HSI is actively rooting out and investigating election fraud wherever it can be found,” a DHS spokesperson told Axios.
