ICE Near Polls? Lawsuit Challenges Policy | Anchorage News

Latino advocacy groups and voting rights organizations are suing to block ICE agents from patrolling polling places, arguing that armed officers near voters violate federal law and risk suppressing turnout by instilling fear—especially among immigrant communities. While DHS says ICE isn’t targeting polls but could act on active threats, plaintiffs including LULAC and Common Cause insist this policy is voter suppression disguised as enforcement. They demand courts bar armed ICE presence at any voting site, including early voting and Election Day, to protect the constitutional right to vote without intimidation. Denver, a city with a history of ICE targeting, joins the suit, with its mayor calling the move designed to scare voters and vowed to defend their right to vote freely.
