The measure was announced by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which ordered the immigration authorities to apply stricter rules in these situations, including deportation.

According to the details provided by the DHS, the Immigration and Nationality Act establishes that foreigners who vote illegally in U.S. elections or who make a false statement about their citizenship may face deportation proceedings.
An official DHS statement details that a criminal conviction is not necessary for these immigration provisions to be applied.
What was the new order for ICE
According to reports, on June 9, the DHS general counsel James Percival sent a directive to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to strengthen the enforcement of these rules.
