States Take Action to Prevent Federal Immigration Officers from Monitoring Polling Places
Several Democratic-led states are concerned about the possibility of federal immigration officers monitoring polling places during the upcoming midterm elections. They view this as a potential strategy to intimidate voters and are taking action to address it. New Mexico recently passed a law prohibiting armed agents from being present at polling locations in response to President Trump's immigration policies. This move is being contemplated by several other Democratic-led states as well.
