The Justice Department says an illegal immigrant has agreed to plead guilty to charges of having stolen a U.S. citizen's identity to illegally vote in multiple U.S. elections and illegally obtain a passport.
"A nine-count information filed in U.S. District Court charges Angelica Maria Francisco, 42, most recently of Russellville (Arkansas), with false claims of citizenship in connection with voting, false statements in [an] application for a United States passport, use of a United States passport obtained by false statements, and aggravated identity theft," the department announced Thursday.
The department also said Francisco used the stolen identity to obtain the passport in 2011 and that a plea agreement was filed indicating she has agreed to plead guilty to all of the charges.
Under the agreement, Francisco admits she "assumed the identity of a United States citizen in or around 2011."
