A lot of words to say “yes.”

Excellent question!

ICE investigates voters fraud????

Could have sworn the constitution has a section about this...

Encircling polling places with goons who know absolutely nothing about how voting works and have no way to investigate any accusations of voter fraud cannot possibly have anything to do with voter fraud.

Oh, were they called Immigration, Customs, and Elections all this time and we just didn't know?

No but yes.. we might.

ICE investigates “voter fraud”? That’s news to me. These guys are totally going to deploy ICE to intimidate voters.

I did not hear a "No" from Lyons. He just danced around the question.

Wtf gives this fat turd the right to investigate voter fraud?

We'll all wear masks and gloves to vote.

Oh really? ICE is an election watchdog now?

Why does ICE "investigate voter fraud?"

In that case! Dear ICE; investigate the 2024 election! Something doesn’t seem right! They said there was fraud in 2020 had an insurrection but not 2024 because he “won” after saying he didn’t need votes! claims fraud again ahead of next election loss! Thank you for your attention to this matter.

WTF does enforcing immigration and customs laws have to do with voter fraud? IOW, they're Trump's paramilitary army and they'll do as he commands. Abolish ICE.

So they investigate voter fraud, sweet so there’s no need for your agents to be there the day ballots are cast! 💯

….which doesn’t actually exist.

Voting has absolutely nothing to do with Immigration or Customs Enforcement. What little "voter Fraud" there is, is dominated by the GOP, *and* GOP officials voting in their district and from outside their state. 7 post thread found from basic searches: bsky.app/profile/malk...

She’s one of my favs 👏👏👏💜💜

No you don’t

And your goons are qualified to that work? Don’t think so.

L. There's no reason for us to deploy, but we will investigate the president's baseless and evidence-free claims that there will have been voter fraud in counties where a Republican lost.

ICE investigates voter fraud? WTF?

So yes, they will deploy

"but we do investigate voter fraud." OH! WELL! THANK GOODNESS! THEY NEVER THROW CLAIMS OF VOTER FRAUD AROUND WILLY NILLY, RIGHT?!

Congress holds another hearing with a Trump toadie.

Hey, if head of DNI is frontline for election interference, we shouldn’t be surprised when ICE is same for voter fraud.

If ICE has no authority to deploy at polling places, then any hint of doing so is voter intimidation, not law enforcement—elections are protected by civilian law, and dragging immigration policing anywhere near the ballot box is a red line in a democracy.

Nope, ICE does not investigate voter fraud. That would be individual states.

She’s leaving the door wide open

🙄

He lost on deploying military so plans to use ICE at polling sites to scare away voters in close D districts

Not even a little!

ICE Investigates voter fraud?

Trump's gonna fire him before the end of the week.

I didn’t realize election integrity fell under the purview of ICE.

ICE investigates fraud?

She’s not good enough. When he asserted that there was no reason and then allowed that they do investigate voter fraud, she should have asked if allegations of voter fraud would be a reason to place agents at polling places.

They don’t shouldn’t but they have been allowed to run rampant

WHY

And there is the 2026 Plan, laid clear in broad daylight.

No, they don't. That's a state matter, not federal.

Um no you fucking don't investigate voter fraud.

"no reason for it" until November when Trump orders them to because Maduro was told to make up shit about 2020.

ICE investigates voter fraud? They need to investigate the voter fraud from November 2024

True www.google.com/amp/s/www.8n...

Like most paramilitary organizations, ICE does whatever Trump tells them to do.

The hidden message behind the words of this slimy creep is that there is no reason or legal basis for ICE to get involved in preventing people from voting but THEY WILL DO IT if the Fuhrer orders them to.

Lyons is too clever by half. He's banking a lot on a Trump pardon

So...that voter fraud investigation will take place inside...The White...House or...

WTF does voting have to do with voter fraud? Nothing, except Trump has turned ICE into his own gestapo army against his political adversaries, just like he has turned the DOJ into his own legal retribution and harassment machine.

Do people ever get in trouble for lying to Congress? Who was the last person charged for lying to congress?

There you have it

Immigration and Customes Elections?

Thank you @slotkin.senate.gov for asking these questions

"We'll respond immediately."

Classic "non-denial denial."

“How can I show my cowardice, but subtly?”

Yeah, I'm going to mirror people who say what fucking authority does ICE have over elections?

Why would ICE have any jurisdiction to investigate voting irregularities? They are border control. Not “voting” control.

Not his job.

Since when?

Immigration and Customs Enforcement investigates voter fraud now?

Where does it say that ICE has anything but immigration enforcement powers?

Since when do immigration enforcement officers investigate voter fraud???

So his answer is clearly “yes”. As bad as we think it has been, we’ve got a real shit show coming.

Reminder: Acting Director T. Lyons authored a memorandum directing ICE officers to IGNORE training & AUTHORIZED ICE officers to forcibly enter people's homes without a judge's warrant based on LYONS personal view and authority. In violation of 4th Amendment! He willingly violates the Constitution!

NO, you Do NOT investigate voter fraud, EVER!! Learn your duties or resign your position you incompetent boob!

And the Supreme Court ruled around ten years ago that since states no longer discriminate based upon race, there is no need for justice Dept oversight. this ruling further weakened federal power over elections.

They will ABSOLUTELY deploy to US polling places...100%

In absolutely no fantasy world does Immigration and Customs Enforcement have any jurisdiction over the validity of voting

trump is gonna go through more Depends than normal after this display today 😆

It’s against the LAW!

“We will do as we’re told by Trump.”

Reminder set for November 3, 2026 at 12:59 PM CT

Ice has no authorizing authority for polling place review

It's the last place they should be. You already have to be a citizen to vote.

*were* convicted

What is their purview to investigate voter fraud?!?!?

What the fuck does immigration and customs enforcement have to do with elections integrity. He basically just admitted they are Trumps secret police.

He has no authority to investigate voter fraud. He needs to stay in his own immoral lane.

So that's a yes. It sure the fuck wasn't a no. #AbolishICE

Republicans should not be allowed to abuse federal power through Kavanaugh Stops to keep American citizens who are minorities from voting. Brett Kavanaugh opened the door to this possible abuse of federal power, because of Brett Kavanaugh's racism against minorities in America. It is clearly wrong.

There it is! Yes they are going to be at polling places “investigating fraud “. Trump will say there’s voter fraud (with no evidence) and ICE will show up. It’s going to happen

@slotkin.senate.gov looks like you've wised up to the tyranny game. It took a while and that's disappointing, but here we are. Keep pushing.

Um, ICE has no jurisdiction over voting
