NEW: ICE agents could enter polling places to make arrests this November, according to DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin. Speaking to reporters, Mullin insisted that “ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places,” but said agents could nevertheless enter voting locations in certain circumstances.

Markwayne Mullin says all sorts of crap that he ends up quietly walking back. He will avoid walking this back as long as he can, because he said it to please Trump. But walk it back or contradict it he will.

I haven't looked up the statute but I remember Indiana law as providing that no one but voters and election officials could be within 50 feet of a polling place.

There is a reason why it would be illegal to have them there. They will intimidate even if they are citizens ICE will arrest citizens and then release them after polls close. If you're stopping eligible people from voting, you're doing democracy wrong.

Immigrants can't vote, anyone at a polling place would be a citizen, this is the miller/mullins idea to scare people. This is just another reason to vote by mail, or use a drop box. FUCK ICE/mullins/miller/dump!!!!! Vote blue, let's abolish ICE!!!

What illegal immigrant would show up to vote with ice killing Latinos for driving while brown! Sure they vote 😵‍💫🥴, republican Liars, but really magas how inbred must you be to keep believing republicans line of bullcrap they feed you!

Under 18 USC § 592, a federal official who orders, or brings “troops or armed men” ta location where an election is taking place can face 5yrs in prison and disqualification from federal office. The law has a narrow exception when force is necessary to “repel armed enemies of the United States.”

Our civil war will begin during the midterms when ICE agents step in to intimidate and interfere with elections. This is exactly what President Stephen Miller wants in order for his frontman, Donald Trump, to invoke the Insurrection Act.

It’s illegal for any armed federal official (including ICE) to go to the polls, regardless of the purpose. And it‘s illegal to intimidate voters, regardless of your motive.
