Mullin: ICE Deployment at Midterm Polls Contingent on Threat
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated Sunday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents would only be deployed to polling places during the midterm elections if a specific threat emerges. This clarification came during an interview with CNN's Kasie Hunt, who referenced Mullin's prior remarks at a hearing where he did not rule out such deployments.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin announced on Sunday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel would be deployed to polling sites during the upcoming midterm elections exclusively if a "threat" arises.
The statement was made in response to a question posed by CNN's Kasie Hunt. Hunt inquired whether Mullin would rule out sending ICE agents to the polls, noting that he had not ruled out such a possibility during a recent hearing.
According to The Hill, Mullin's remarks indicate that any presence of ICE agents at midterm polling locations would be contingent upon the emergence of a specific security concern.
