Nearly 10 months after Democrats demanded records of ICE’s plans for deploying agents to polling places, the agency has turned over 576 pages of press clippings. The DNC noted that its FOIA request specifically asks ICE to exclude stand-alone news articles and press clippings that don’t contain discussion by agency officials. ICE has repeatedly frustrated efforts to uncover internal discussions, despite public statements by Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin and Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche that they are open to deploying agents to polling places. A statement by Homeland Security to Raw Story last month went even further by saying the government wouldn’t rule out arrests at polling places in response to “an active public safety threat.” In response, the DNC flagged news reports about the presence of ICE agents at polling places in Texas and California during primary elections in those states in May and June, respectively, along with Mullin’s testimony during his Senate confirmation hearing.
