Trump declines to rule out ICE at polls

The Trump administration says it has no plans to deploy immigration officers to patrol polling places, though officials have left open the possibility of agents going to a site for a specific reason, such as executing a warrant or responding to a threat. Election law experts say federal law sharply limits the use of armed federal personnel at election sites. Voting-rights groups remain concerned amid rising immigration arrests and administration rhetoric about election integrity, which they fear could intimidate voters. President Donald Trump has declined to rule out sending ICE officers to polling places, saying, “Haven’t thought of it” and “We’ll see,” after previously saying he would do anything necessary to ensure honest elections.
