Maine GOP Candidate Proposes ICE Presence at Polling Places
TL;DR
At a Maine rally, GOP gubernatorial candidate Bobby Charles said he would ask former DHS official Tom Homan to deploy ICE agents and U.S. Marshals to polling places in the weeks before Election Day to deter violence, intimidation, and illegal voting; DHS says there are no plans to send agents, and experts say federal agents at polling sites are restricted by law, prompting Democratic criticism that the idea is likely illegal and politically charged.
