RICHMOND, Va. -- Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares announced Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) potentially violated several state laws. His statement followed a whistleblower's report regarding the activities of DHS employees.
The whistleblower alleged that DHS employees accessed state voter lookup tools. They further alleged employees used information from these tools to identify individuals listed as noncitizen voters, misrepresenting their identity during this process.
Miyares did not specify the exact state laws he referenced. He also did not provide details regarding the whistleblower's identity or the specific nature of their allegations concerning DHS employees' actions within the voter lookup tools. Miyares' office has initiated a review of these allegations.
