Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) lawyers have told a court that the agency may have thousands of documents relevant to Democrats’ demand for the Trump administration’s possible plans to deploy immigration agents at the polls this fall.
Still, with the midterms approaching, ICE hasn’t produced a single document — leaving Americans in the dark amid fears that President Donald Trump may heed the calls of prominent MAGA figures and station ICE agents or National Guard personnel at voting sites, a move clearly meant to intimidate voters and poll workers and influence election outcomes.
The White House and senior Trump officials have refused to rule out the tactic, while senior Department of Justice officials — including acting Attorney General Todd Blanche — have endorsed it even though federal law largely bars the deployment of law enforcement to polling places.
