A Mexican native green card<\/a> holder who recently served as mayor of a small Kansas town pleaded guilty to voter fraud after illegally voting multiple times, according to federal authorities. He also falsely claimed U.S. citizenship on voter registration documents.<\/p>\n

The case comes as debate continues over voter fraud and election integrity<\/a>, with the Trump administration pushing measures aimed at cracking down on illegal immigration and tightening election safeguards.<\/p>\n

Jose “Joe” Ceballos, who formerly served as mayor of Coldwater, Kansas, for two terms, pleaded guilty this week to three counts of disorderly election conduct following a prosecution by Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach\u2019s office, according to the Department of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n

Ceballos also has a prior conviction for battery in 1995. He was issued a green card in 1990 and applied for U.S. citizenship in February.<\/p>\n

On that citizenship application<\/a>, federal authorities allege he falsely claimed that he had never previously claimed to be a U.S. citizen.<\/p>\n

Assistant DHS Secretary Lauren Bis credited the Trump-era SAVE program for helping bring Ceballos to justice.<\/p>\n

The database is used to help states determine who is in the country legally versus illegally, but Democrats, including the Shapiro administration in Pennsylvania<\/a>, have blamed alleged discrepancies in the system after illegal immigrant truckers were found to hold their state\u2019s CDLs.<\/p>\n

“The SAVE program is a critical tool for state and local governments to safeguard the integrity of elections<\/a> across the country,” Bis said. “President Trump has been unequivocal: Nothing is more fundamental than the integrity and security of our elections.”<\/p>\n

Bis said the Ceballos case is an exemplar for why Congress must pass the<\/a> SAVE America Act, which she called “commonsense legislation that requires voters to present photo ID and implements other critical measures to protect federal elections from fraud.”<\/p>\n

“Our elections belong to American citizens, not foreign citizens,” she said.<\/p>\n

Bis\u2019 office shared with Fox News Digital a facsimile of a Kansas state voter registration form<\/a> on which Ceballos falsely claimed to be a citizen, as well as his naturalization application on which he had attested that he had never made such a claim.<\/p>\n

Since April 2025, more than 24,000 cases have been identified via the SAVE system as potential noncitizens who were on the voter rolls, according to DHS.<\/p>\n

In November, Kobach announced<\/a> the original charges against Ceballos, describing him as “recently reelected” in Coldwater.<\/p>\n

At the time, USCIS spokesman Matthew Tragesser called the situation “absolutely unacceptable and sad,” but said it was no surprise “given the years of lax voting security in<\/a> the United States.”<\/p>\n

\u00a0“From day one, the Trump administration has made strengthening the SAVE program a top priority so states can verify that only U.S. citizens are on the voter rolls,” he said.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m grateful that President Trump implemented the SAVE program to help states and to prevent situations like this,” added Kansas Secretary of State<\/a> Scott Schwab.<\/p>\n
