The claim is mostly true because Michigan’s attorney general announced charges against five non-U.S. Citizens allegedly connected to voting in the 2024 election, but the cases involve accusations and have not established their guilt in court.

Verified August 13, 2026Key Evidence
The Detroit News reported that Nessel announced charges against five non-U.S. Citizens allegedly involved in voting in Michigan’s 2024 presidential election, plus a separate case involving a U.S. Citizen.
FOX 2 Detroit and ABC12 likewise described five noncitizens and one citizen facing election-related charges.
The available reporting supports the filing of charges, but it does not establish convictions or final judicial findings.
The reporting
What the Evidence Shows
Multiple reports published on August 13, 2026, including The Detroit News, the Detroit Free Press, WOOD-TV, FOX 2 Detroit, ABC12, Audacy, and UpNorthLive, consistently state that Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced charges against five noncitizens who allegedly voted in the November 2024 general election.
The claim accurately captures the central event: five noncitizens were charged in cases involving alleged illegal voting or voter registration connected to Michigan’s 2024 election. The reports also describe a sixth defendant, a U.S. Citizen allegedly accused of registering a noncitizen spouse to vote.
The important qualification is that the five people are accused of voting, not judicially confirmed to have done so. Criminal charges are allegations, and the available source summaries do not indicate that any defendant has been convicted or that the cases have been resolved. Therefore, the wording “who voted” is stronger than the evidence currently supports.
The sources do not materially conflict on the number of noncitizens charged. Some headlines emphasize five noncitizens, while others describe six total election-related defendants, because the sixth person is reportedly a U.S. Citizen accused of helping a noncitizen register.
