They know undocumented people can't vote. They know they won't find any at the polls. They know exactly what they're doing.

And Americans have a lot of guns.
They only seem to like using them against school children, or on themselves, though.
it’s true
ive been thinking about shooting myself in the head a lot lately
Lol, ICE traitors don't scare me even a little. Waste our tax dollars cocksuckers.
Good for you. Others are very much scared and targeted by them.
Fear is the mind-killer.
And guns are the flesh-killer.
Get a grip my guy
Their warrants are bullshit, they'll find someone with a "last known address" that obviously isn't in use in battleground districts and send ICE there to depress Dem turnout.
If you see ICE at your polling place, that means voting is even more important
I don't mean to sound dramatic but this might be one of the most important elections in US history. It's absolutely going to set the course for the country
Totally agree. We're watching from Australia to see if you guys are still a democracy or not. Signs aren't looking good..
No, 2024 was. The fascists are in power now. They will postpone this election, alter the outcome or even just ignore the results and declare victory. This one won't count for shit other than to maybe start a revolution. I'm going to vote anyway if the elections are held, but I'm not kidding myself into thinking that the fascists have come all this way only to step aside because of an election.
I think so too unfortunately. Even if Dems win a majority, how much, and w/o executive can't change much. Then get blamed they had hearings for 2 years rather than unite and fix all the damage, that the bad choices last election caused/made worse, but no awareness of that.
Much easier and faster to destroy things than build, but tiktok feeds won't mention that, and will convince enough to make the bad choices again. I hope I'm wrong and people show up and elect Dems with enough majority, for enough time, to make the changes people claim to want. It can't be done if every other cycle destroys the progress Dems make when they ever have enough majority, and people don't realize all this and think vote the other way to fix what they "feel" is wrong. Right/wrong thinking, it's part of why we're regressing.
It's important, but no more than others. The filibuster means it takes 60 in the Senate to do anything other than a budget.
We need to gain as many seats as possible ahead of next election. That's the one that's going to be huge, because a top ticket progressive drives primary turnout as well as general.
That's why Bernie was so insistent on taking it to the end, and Martin has said this whole time they're not calling it till every state has a primary/caucus.
Quick edit:
And obviously bullshit this year, is test run for bullshit in 2 years.
That's why we need to show it's not effective
"ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats.”
Enforce specific threats. What a weird thing for law enforcement to say. Not protect against threats. Prevent threats. But ENFORCE THREATS
how does a threat to the polling place involve immigration and customs enforcement
Lets see if the american public are as tough as they claim against terrorists foreign and domestic.
"ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places. We’re there to enforce specific threats".. is he outright saying they are there to intimidate voters? I knew they would be pulling this card.
We all thought that. No news here, just a plan unfolding. Pre-massaging the rage so when it comes out everyone will already have had their kick at the outrage can and it'll be less of a bang and more of a whimper.
Just spreading the idea that ICE might be active near polling places on Election Day should be prosecutable as voter intimidation.
In Texas you can vote early from October 19th to October 30th, 7 a.m. to 7pm. There is absolutely no reason you can't find the 20 minutes it will take to vote sometime between 7am and 7pm from October 19th to October 30th. If you live in one of these counties, you can vote at any polling station in the county you reside in.
It looks like every state has some kind of early in person voting. If they could just rig entire elections they wouldn't be so worried about them.
My friends and I have been saying our new hobby should be suing the government as often and as many ways as we can so we can quit our day jobs. Looks like our wish is coming true.
Ah yeah, the Immigration and Customs agency is definitely the most appropriate for that
What in anyone's name would cause a noncitizen to want to vote? There's nothing good in it for them to do it and loads of possible bad. Negative motivation. Yet the GOP wants you to believe that convoys of illegals have been thronging ti the polls. Beyond ridiculous.
“Specific threats”. Hmmm. I wonder if they’ll have images of everyone NOT a Trump voter.
So kind of like the SS
And I could declare myself King of France tomorrow.
I'll be working as chairperson of my polling precinct. We follow the election laws set by the state which includes ejecting from the premises any person or persons interfering with the voting process. ICE can go fuck themselves.
If mail ballots get rejected in bulk as the recent whistleblower claimed they would, if you go to the poll to vote because you didn't receive a ballot by mail, ICE will be there to insure you can or can't vote?
Markwayne? Don’t you have a piece of wood you need to be chewing on or something?
“The only reason why we would be at polling places is if there is a threat to that polling place or we’re serving a warrant on someone that we have been actively tracking down,” Mullin said. “ICE’s job is immigration, customs enforcement. That’s their job … if we’re serving a warrant we will be where we need to be.”
Yeah I’m sure you’ll make something up to justify it, like a sudden wave of undocumented people on an ICE hit list decide to invade our polling places across the country, who are trying to cheat the poor, old GOP out a win.
I don’t even know why they’re going to all this trouble. Some pretty solid polls are indicating Dems aren’t going to take much ground at all. The GOP already ensured that when they gerrymandered the red and battleground states into MAGA hell.
I'm sure Minnesotans will be ready to show ICE agents how welcome they are at poling places. Are you?
All part of the plan to keep "suspected illegals" (BIPOCs) from voting on election day.
