Angelica Maria Francisco, a 42-year-old undocumented immigrant from Guatemala residing in Russellville, Alabama, has agreed to plead guilty to nine federal charges, including false claims of citizenship, false statements in passport applications, and aggravated identity theft. She assumed a U.S. citizen's identity in 2011, using it to obtain a passport and vote in multiple elections, including the 2016 and 2020 primary and general elections. Francisco used the fraudulent passport to travel between the U.S. and Guatemala several times. Her case highlights ongoing concerns about voter fraud and the integrity of U.S. elections, with Alabama officials emphasizing efforts to ensure only eligible citizens vote. The case was investigated by the U.S. State Department’s Diplomatic Security Service and other local law enforcement agencies.
