The investigation comes after the president directed the Department of Homeland Security to give states access to a citizenship verification database.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced on June 17 that he was investigating 33 potential noncitizens who are accused of voting in the 2024 election.

The investigations follow a referral from Texas Secretary of State Jane Nelson after the state gained access to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’s Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database. President Donald Trump signed an executive order earlier this year directing the Department of Homeland Security to offer access to the database to all states at no cost.
