Unverified
“Troops and ICE agents are being sent to polling places.”
Status: Federal law makes it a crime to bring troops or armed federal agents to a polling place (18 U.S.C. 592 and 593). DHS said on Oct. 2 that ICE is not planning operations targeting polling locations, and the Joint Chiefs chairman told Congress there are no plans to send troops. A viral video of masked agents inside a polling place is AI-generated. If anyone intimidates voters at your polling place, report it to your county board of elections.
