ICE and Elections Under Scrutiny | Concord News

ICE says it won’t target polling places in upcoming elections, but warns arrests could happen if a public safety threat arises. Senators, led by Edward Markey, are demanding answers about whether federal agents will be at election sites — citing federal law that bans such actions — amid fears Trump may be meddling in state-run elections. A recent investigation revealed ICE initially lied about having no records, then admitted to finding thousands of documents after legal pressure. The Pentagon says it will respond, while DOJ remains silent. Trump’s vow to “do anything necessary” to ensure “honest elections,” paired with talk of invoking the Insurrection Act, has fueled alarm. Senators are now pushing for full transparency — or proof federal interference won’t happen. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
