ICE rammed into a car at 34th and Park And then began to question the immigration status of U.S. Citizen Latino’s they crashed into.
They also deployed chemical irritants into the eyes of the press. Abolish ICE now.

I'm worried about this, too, but I'm less worried now than I was even a year ago, not least because states are winning cases that are forcing the military back into the hands of governors. And ICE can try to "swarm" polling places, but that's harder than it looks - especially if you've voted early.
They don’t have to cancel elections. They plan to send ICE to swarm election sites in cities in swing states. They’ve been talking about this openly for years. Shoot a few nearby immigrants here, arrest a few citizens there, it doesn’t take a lot of boots on the ground to depress turnout by 20%.
