Summary
Denise Nataly Migliore, a 51-year-old Australian lawful permanent resident, was arrested July 1 in New Orleans on charges tied to illegally voting in the 2022 and 2024 federal elections.
A four-count indictment says she falsely claimed U.S. citizenship in October 2022 and October 2024 to register, then cast ballots in November of both years despite being ineligible to vote.
The U.S. Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of Louisiana charged her with false statements to register and illegal voting after an ICE-led investigation.
If convicted, Migliore faces up to 5 years in prison, 3 years of supervised release, a fine of up to $250,000 and a $100 special assessment.
DHS cast the case as part of a broader crackdown on noncitizens voting in U.S. elections, warning that criminal charges and deportation can follow.
