发布日期 2026年1月15日
新泽西联邦大陪审团起诉两名巴基斯坦籍人士,指控他们在不具有美国公民身份的情况下登记并参与2020年联邦选举投票,之后又在入籍申请中就此撒谎。USCIS与FBI、国土安全调查局共同参与了此案调查。
要点
- 37岁的Muhammad Muzammal和62岁的Muhammad Shakeel在不具有美国公民身份时在新泽西州登记投票。
- 两人在选民登记表上虚假声明自己是美国公民,并在2020年11月的大选中投票。
- 两人后来各自提交N-400入籍申请表,虚假声称自己从未登记或参与过任何选举投票。
- 两人在USCIS入籍面谈中宣誓作证时再次重复这些虚假陈述。
- 起诉书所载内容仅为指控,在被证明有罪之前,被告被推定无罪。
- 若罪名成立,两人最高可面临10年监禁。
影响对象
此案直接涉及两名被起诉人,但对考虑投票或申请入籍的非公民具有普遍参考意义。

新泽西州纽瓦克,美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）提供了关键协助,促成两名巴基斯坦籍公民因在联邦选举中非法投票以及在申请美国公民身份时作出虚假陈述而被起诉。美国检察官办公室发布了该消息,并对联邦调查局（FBI）、国土安全调查局（HSI）和美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）在本案调查中的贡献表示肯定。
NEWARK, N.J. – U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services provided critical assistance leading to the indictment of two Pakistani nationals for illegally voting in a federal election and making false statements while applying for United States citizenship. The U.S. Attorney’s Office made the announcement and credited the FBI, Homeland Security Investigations, and USCIS with the investigation.
根据起诉书,现年37岁的Muhammad Muzammal和现年62岁的Muhammad Shakeel在新泽西州登记投票时均为非美国公民。两人在登记表上均虚假证明并宣誓自己是美国公民。在其登记申请获批后,两人在尚未取得美国公民身份的情况下,于2020年11月的大选中投票,该选举包括美国总统和副总统职位的选举。根据法律规定,登记投票并在联邦选举中投票的人必须是美国公民。
According to the indictments, Muhammad Muzammal, 37, and Muhammad Shakeel, 62, were non-citizens when they registered to vote in New Jersey. On their registration forms, both men falsely certified and attested that they were U.S. citizens. After their applications to register were approved, each, still without U.S. citizenship, cast ballots in the November 2020 general election, which included the election for the offices of president and vice president of the United States. To register to vote and vote in federal elections, a person must be a United States citizen.
起诉书还指称,在非法参与联邦选举投票后,Muzammal和Shakeel二人各自向美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）提交了N-400表格《入籍申请书》,申请成为美国公民。N-400表格要求申请人在伪证罪的处罚之下宣誓,其在申请中提供的信息完整、真实且准确无误。两人在其N-400申请表中均虚假声称,他们从未在任何联邦、州或地方选举中登记投票或投票。提交N-400申请后,两人均接受了美国公民及移民服务局（USCIS）官员的面谈,官员对其进行了宣誓,并就其申请表中提供的答案对其进行询问。两人再次向官员虚假声称,他们从未在任何联邦、州或地方选举中投票。
The indictments also allege that after illegally voting in a federal election, Muzammal and Shakeel each applied to become a U. S. citizen by submitting an N-400, Application for Naturalization, to USCIS. An N-400 requires the applicant to swear under penalty of perjury that the information they provide in their application is complete, true, and correct. Both men falsely claimed in their N-400s that they had never registered to vote or voted in any federal, state, or local elections. After submitting their N-400s, both men were interviewed by USCIS officers who placed them under oath and questioned them about the answers provided on their applications. Both again falsely asserted to officers that they had never voted in any Federal, state, or local elections.
起诉书中所载的指控和指称仅为指控,除非且直至被证明有罪,否则被告人均应被推定无罪。如被定罪,最高可判处10年监禁。
The charges and allegations contained in the indictments are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty. If convicted, the penalties carry up to a maximum of 10 years’ imprisonment.
