DHS chief says ICE agents could be deployed to polling places amid election security concerns

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated ICE officers could be sent to polling sites if there is a specific threat or warrant, clarifying they would not patrol generally. This marks a notable policy stance on federal law enforcement presence at voting locations, raising concerns about voter intimidation. The statement is unverified in terms of actual deployment plans, and its impact depends on implementation and legal challenges.
