Haitian man accused of attempted election fraud removed from US

Rolex Augustin, from Haiti and with no lawful status, was arrested on Sept. 27 and charged with attempted election fraud.

--- The context --- The case joins an attempted election fraud charge with a removal already carried out. A Haitian man with no lawful status was arrested on Sept. 27 and removed on Oct. 8, 2026, according to the federal immigration authority. --- The facts --- Officers arrested Rolex Augustin on Sept. 27 and describe him as a criminal illegal alien from Haiti, charged with attempted election fraud according to the official information released about the case. Augustin entered near San Ysidro, California, on Nov. 28, 2022, without lawful status, and was released. Placed in removal proceedings, he failed to appear for his court date and, following due process, was ordered removed on Sept. 16, 2025. He was detained and removed on Oct. 8, 2026. --- The positions --- Micah Bock, Assistant Director for Public Affairs, said in attributed terms that the agency is turning back the clock on the previous administration's policies and that tampering with elections dilutes citizens' votes. The statement adds that, under President Trump and Secretary Mullin, those who break the law will face the consequences. --- What remains unknown --- The official information does not detail what the attempted fraud consisted of or where the Sept. 27 arrest took place. It also does not name the court in the proceedings or his destination after removal. --- Unanswered questions --- What did the attempted election fraud charged against Augustin consist of? Where was he arrested on Sept. 27 after failing to appear? What was his destination after the removal on Oct. 8, 2026? Will the outcome of the criminal charge be made public? --- EPM analysis --- The record combines three moments: entry and release in 2022, a removal order in 2025 after a failure to appear and removal in 2026. They are different planes, criminal and immigration, and should not be confused. 📌 EPM Take: In EPM's view, this case should be read with its two planes kept clearly apart and without treating as proven what the official information has not yet detailed with precision. There is an attempted election fraud charge, a removal order issued following due process and a removal already carried out. Protecting election integrity matters, and so does grounding every claim in verifiable facts.
