ICE at the Polls — And the Documents They Said Didn't Exist

from The Raid · host John Carlos Frey

Before this year's midterms, ICE told a federal judge it had no records on any plans to send agents to polling places. That wasn't true.  In this episode of The Raid, John Carlos Frey traces what actually happened when two Homeland Security agents walked into an active polling site in Syracuse, NY, to pressure a poll worker over a months-old social media post — and how that incident became the evidence that forced ICE to admit it's sitting on more than 11,000 pages it had denied existed.  We go inside the Syracuse confrontation, the earlier enforcement actions in Texas and California that set the pattern, and the ongoing court fight over documents the public still hasn't seen — plus what election-security experts say this kind of incident does to voter turnout, whether or not it's ever repeated.  https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/ice-agents-polling-places-documents-democrats-foia-demand/  https://www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/judge-trump-troops-voting-democrats-information-request/  https://theraidpodcast.org/ Disclaimer: The statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants on this program are solely their own and do not necessarily represent those of the distributor of the program and any person or entity affiliated with said distributor ("distributor's affiliates").  The distributor and distributor's affiliates are not responsible for, and shall not be liable for, the statements and opinions expressed by the host or participants, or for any content that appears on the program.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
