Mullin says ICE ‘only’ deployed at midterm polls if ‘threat’ arises
Mullin said agents would only respond to a specific threat and not for immigration enforcement, as lawmakers debate federal involvement in voting sites.
- On Sunday, CNN's Kasie Hunt pressed Department of Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin regarding plans to deploy Immigration And Customs Enforcement agents to monitor upcoming midterm polling locations.
- President Donald Trump has urged sending federal agents to voting locations, though Mullin claimed his officers would only deploy for a "specific threat" or as an emergency Special Response Team, not for intimidation.
- Mitch McConnell and Susan Collins called the proposal a "non-starter" last week, while Mullin separately told Dana Bash he is ready to "throw out the Constitution" to ensure "only citizens of the United States are voting."
- A study by the Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement found the proposed act would disenfranchise 21.3 million voting-age Americans, while the Heritage Foundation identified only 25 instances of non-citizen voter fraud.
- Trump has urged Republicans in Congress to pass the act through reconciliation to bypass a Democratic Party filibuster in the Senate.
