US homeland security secretary Markwayne Mullin on Tuesday said that federal immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) officers could be deployed to polling sites across the country.
Speaking to reporters in New York, Mullin said: “ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats.”
For months, Democrats and voting rights groups have warned that the Trump administration might attempt to deploy federal agents to polling locations in an effort to intimidate voters and depress turnout ahead of the November midterm elections.

“The only reason why we would be at polling places is if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant on someone that we have been actively tracking down,” Mullin said. “ICE’s job is immigration, customs enforcement. That’s their job … if we’re serving a warrant we will be where we need to be.”

It looks like every state has some kind of early in person voting. If they could just rig entire elections they wouldn’t be so worried about them.
My friends and I have been saying our new hobby should be suing the government as often and as many ways as we can so we can quit our day jobs. Looks like our wish is coming true.
Just spreading the idea that ICE might be active near polling places on Election Day should be prosecutable as voter intimidation.
In Texas you can vote early from October 19th to October 30th, 7 a.m. to 7pm. There is absolutely no reason you can’t find the 20 minutes it will take to vote sometime between 7am and 7pm from October 19th to October 30th. If you live in one of these counties, you can vote at any polling station in the county you reside in.
What in anyone’s name would cause a noncitizen to want to vote? There’s nothing good in it for them to do it and loads of possible bad. Negative motivation. Yet the GOP wants you to believe that convoys of illegals have been thronging ti the polls. Beyond ridiculous.
“ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats”… is he outright saying they are there to intimidate voters? I knew they would be pulling this card.
“Specific threats”. Hmmm. I wonder if they’ll have images of everyone NOT a Trump voter.
nazis hide with masks,
Cowardly traitors afraid,
They choose violence
Enforce specific threats. That’s a hell of a sentence to say out loud.
Ah yeah, the Immigration and Customs agency is definitely the most appropriate for that
“We’re there to enforce specific threats.”
The threat of democracy?
The threat that they can’t ride around in masks abducting people off the streets and murdering US citizens.
Fuck these goddamn microdicked peaked in highschool massive losers
Basically not even pretending they’re anything but the MAGAstapo anymore.

"ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats.”
Enforce specific threats. What a weird thing for law enforcement to say. Not protect against threats. Prevent threats. But ENFORCE THREATS
