Non-Citizen Pleads Guilty to Fraudulently Voting in Numerous Elections

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - A Mexican man has pleaded guilty to voting in multiple elections despite being a non-citizen, announced U.S. Attorney Phillip W. Williams Jr.

Homero Ramos, 45, of Haleyville, pleaded guilty this week before U.S. District Judge Edmund G. LaCour, Jr., to two counts of fraudulent voting.

According to the indictment, Ramos is a lawful permanent resident but never obtained U.S. citizenship. Despite this, Ramos registered to vote and voted-even though he knew that only U.S. citizens are permitted to do so under Alabama law. In fact, Ramos voted in both the 2022 and 2024 general elections.

Homeland Security Investigations investigated the case, with the assistance of the Alabama Secretary of State's Office and Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney Brett A. Janich is prosecuting the case.
