The Department of Justice says Sacko voted illegally in multiple elections,including the 2008 and 2012 general elections,the 2016 primary and general elections,and the 2020 primary and general elections. Sacko had previously been ordered deported in 2000 but remained in the United States; he was again encountered by ICE in 2007 and placed on supervision after authorities could not obtain a Mauritanian passport to affect removal. The investigation began in April 2025 after DHS was alerted to possible voting by the illegal immigrant. If convicted, Sacko could face up to five years in prison.

Mahady Sacko, 50, allegedly represented himself as a U.S. citizen when voting in person. He had been ordered to be deported in 2000 but remained in the United States. If convicted, he could face up to five years in prison. An FBI agent said illegal voting was not new for Sacko. State voting records show Sacko voted in several federal elections: the 2008 and 2012 general elections, the 2016 primary and general elections, and the 2020 primary and general elections. He reportedly voted in person for all of these except the 2020 primary, which he cast by mail; the complaint states he lied about his citizenship each time. Sacko had previously appealed his deportation to Mauritania; he lost the appeal in 2002 but did not leave the country. He was again picked up by ICE in 2007, but authorities could not remove him because Mauritanian documents were unavailable, so he remained under supervision and was required to report regularly. The investigation began in April 2025 after DHS was alerted to alleged voting activity.
