DHS Officials Assure No ICE Agents Will Be Present at Polling Places

A series of statements from a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official have reassured state election officials that federal immigration agents, specifically ICE, will not be deployed at polling places during the upcoming midterm elections. This assurance was reiterated multiple times, with officials stating directly to election chiefs that ICE will not monitor polling sites. Despite these promises, some officials, such as Colorado’s Secretary of State Adrian Fontes, express skepticism about the guarantees provided by the Trump administration. Concerns remain amongst election officials about potential interference, as some express doubts and emphasize the need for vigilance despite official assurances.
