移民及海關執法局(ICE)質疑北卡羅來納州存在非公民投票詐欺，向北卡州44個選區發出傳票，要求提供2000多萬份選民資料，包括州選民登記資料庫的1500多萬份文件，和各選區的560多萬張選票。

ICE除發傳票給44個選區外，還給州政府發出兩張，包括州汽車監理廳在內，但ICE以正在調查為由，沒有透露有關細節。

司法部上個月控告北卡州19個外國公民，稱他們在2016年大選期間非法投票，19人分別來自墨西哥、多明尼加、奈及利亞和德國。

一名聯邦執法人員表示，對北卡州44個選區的投票詐欺調查完全局限在北卡州範圍內，與川普總統宣稱2016年大選期間有大批移民投票無關。

川普為調查數百萬人在2016年非法投票而成立調查委員會，但他後來將委員會解散。委員會上月公布報告顯示，沒有發現2016年大選期間大規模投票詐欺的證據。

ICE要求提供2000多萬份文件，但調查人員表示可能拿不到如此多的資料，ICE主要是要求提供投票紀錄。由於北卡州的投票紀錄是保存兩年後銷毀，而2016年大選至今已接近兩年期限。

ICE要求北卡州44個選區提交所有的投票冊、電子投票冊、投票紀錄、選民登記文件、投票表(包括缺席投票表)，時間為從2013年8月30日到2018年8月30日。

Immigration and Customs Enforcement has subpoenaed 44 North Carolina elections boards for voting records, CBS News' Jeff Pegues has confirmed. 

Sources tell CBS News 46 subpoenas went out in all, but of that 46, two went to state agencies, including the Department of Motor Vehicles. ICE is not providing a formal statement due to the ongoing federal investigation. 

Those subpoenas come on the heels of an announcement last month that 19 foreign nationals had been indicted for illegally voting in the state during the 2016 election. 

A federal law enforcement official briefed on the details of the investigation said this is a local case, and denied that it has anything to do with President Trump's unsubstantiated claims that there was widespread illegal voting during the 2016 election. But ICE and government officials are expecting to field questions about whether this is an attempt to pick up where the president's now-disbanded "Commission on Voter Fraud" left off. 

The president, claiming "millions" voted illegally in the 2016 election, established the commission to root out fraud. The president disbanded the commission at the turn of the year. A report from the commission issued last month found no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the 2016 elections. 

Absentee voting is scheduled to start in just over two weeks. 

A federal law enforcement source tells CBS News' Jeff Pegues that the subpoenas are grand jury subpoenas, and potentially cover millions of documents, but investigators are not expecting to get that many. What they are essentially seeking, the federal law enforcement source says, is preservation of voter records. Sources tell Pegues the state destroys voting records after two years — and the two-year anniversary of the 2016 election is nearly here. 

According to CBS Raleigh affiliate WNCN-TV, the subpoena requests "any and all poll books,e-poll books, voting records, and/or voter authorization documents, and executed official ballots (including absentee official ballots), that were submitted to, filed by, received by, and/or maintained by the [redacted] County Board of Elections from August 30, 2013 through August 30, 2018."
