The investigation was led by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), according to a press release from the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
According to court filings, Sun submitted an online voter registration in Massachusetts on October 10, 2024, impersonating another Chinese national residing in the state who had legal permanent resident (LPR) status.
Sun reportedly then submitted an early voting ballot at Malden City Hall for the 2024 presidential election on October 31, while still impersonating the victim.
Breitbart reports that Sun also submitted several anonymous tips to HSI and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) accusing the victim he was impersonating of “illegally voting in the 2024 U.S. presidential election” and stating that his victim “is not a U.S. citizen but a permanent resident.”

He is also accused of impersonating the victim and the victim’s wife in April 2024 when he submitted fraudulent forms to USCIS requesting to abandon their Legal Permanent Resident status, according to the DHS press release.
This resulted in the victim and his wife, also a Chinese national, being placed into removal proceedings in June 2024 after returning from an international trip, according to Breitbart.
NBC News in Boston reports that Sun’s victim and his wife “successfully petitioned the Boston Immigration Court to restore their green cards.”
In the DHS press release, Secretary Markwayne Mullin said:
This criminal illegal alien allegedly committed voter fraud so he could vote in the 2024 presidential election. The charges in this case are the result of the hard work of the men and women of HSI and our federal partners. Election security is national security. Only American citizens should be electing American leaders.
Sun was arrested by Homeland Security Investigations on August 19 and faces charges of fraudulent registration and fraudulent voting, each providing for a sentence of up to five years in prison, three years of supervised release, deportation, and a fine of $250,000.
