• Biden administration granted woman green card months before she illegally voted in 2024 election: DHS (foxnews.com) — An Emmaus resident from the Philippines has pleaded guilty to illegally voting in the 2024 election after registering online and casting a ballot at her local Emmaus polling place, despite not being a U.S. citizen.
