Summary
Anthony Tyrone Higgs was arrested Sept. 3 in Decatur, Georgia, after Homeland Security Investigations said he illegally voted in the 2020 election; he is now in ICE removal custody.
DHS said the Bahamian national, a lawful permanent resident since 1976, was placed in proceedings to revoke his status after investigators tied the voting case to a long violent criminal record.
Markwayne Mullin said Higgs' rap sheet includes armed robbery, domestic violence, assault on a police officer, resisting arrest, grand larceny and weapon-possession counts.
The arrest fits a wider Trump administration push on election-related crimes, with DHS citing recent cases involving a Colombian sentenced in August and foreign nationals accused of illegal voting in New Jersey, Louisiana and Philadelphia.
