The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is investigating allegations that Representative Eric Swalwell, a leading candidate for governor of California, hired a nanny who was not authorized to work in the United States. According to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Swalwell employed a Brazilian national as a nanny despite her work authorization permit expiring in 2022. Although Swalwell was in the process of sponsoring her for a green card, she allegedly continued to work for him unlawfully. This investigation adds to the scrutiny Swalwell faces due to sexual assault allegations from a former staffer, which have led some House Democrats to call for him to suspend his campaign. Swalwell has publicly denied the accusations, labeling them as false and politically motivated, asserting his long-standing commitment to public service and women's protection. The situation is developing, with a potential vote to expel Swalwell from Congress being discussed by Republican representatives.
