ICE investigation aids in jailing of Colombian national who fraudulently voted in U.S. elections
A Colombian national illegal immigrant who fraudulently voted in U.S. elections for more than 20 years was sentenced last week to three years in federal prison for his crimes. An investigation conducted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s Homeland Security Investigations and other federal agencies discovered that Carlos Felipe Jaramillo-Grajales used fraudulent documents in 2003 to get a driver’s license and, subsequently, a U.S. passport. With the “authentic but fraudulent documents,” he claimed he was a U.S. citizen and that he had voted in multiple elections.
