Washington, D.C. — The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has informed states that initial numbers concerning noncitizens identified on voter rolls were preliminary. The Trump administration had earlier announced findings of 250,000 noncitizens on voter lists across four specific states. Subsequent communications from the agency to state officials indicated that the data initially presented represented a preliminary assessment.
