DOJ confirms ICE agents won’t participate in poll monitoring

The Department of Justice this week confirmed that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and FBI personnel would not participate in poll-monitoring operations during the midterm elections.Speculation had abounded that ICE and other immigration-related agencies could involve themselves amid the Trump administration’s crackdown on voter fraud, but a DOJ filing confirmed that they would not participate.
Instead, personnel from the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Bureau ‌of ⁠Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will participate in poll monitoring, according to The Hill.
Poll monitoring is a regular practice in each election cycle that sees federal personnel oversee a limited number of sites to watch for improprieties.
