Additionally, HSI Atlanta confirmed in August 2026 that Higgs had voted illegally in the 2020 election.
He is currently in the custody of ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations (ERO).
When discussing Higgs’ situation, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Markwayne Mullin commented to the Caller, saying, “This criminal alien from the Bahamas has a rap sheet for multiple violent crimes, including armed robbery, domestic violence, and assault on a police officer.”
“Furthermore, he illegally voted in the 2020 election. When even one non-citizen casts a vote, it undermines the voice of an American citizen. Thanks to the diligent efforts of ICE, we can ensure this individual will be removed from our country, preventing any future interference in our elections.”
Higgs first entered the United States as a Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) back in October 1976. DHS has initiated removal proceedings to revoke his LPR status based on his criminal activities.
Recently, DHS has taken several steps concerning election security and the eligibility of voters. (RELATED: 220 Noncitizens Had ‘History’ Of Voting In New Jersey Elections Before Registration ‘Glitch’)
In July, Mullin sent letters to state secretaries cautioning them about noncitizens registered to vote.
During the same month, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) declared that grant recipients must take certain actions to enhance election security.
In June, DHS instructed ICE to impose stricter penalties against noncitizens voting illegally in American elections, including deportation.
