[UPDATE] DHS says ICE has no polling-place operations planned but can enter for a threat or warrant

“ICE isn’t there to patrol the polling places,” Mullin said, adding that agents serving a warrant “will be where we need to be.”

On Sep. 1, Joint Chiefs chairman Dan Caine said no U.S. troops would be sent to polling places for November's midterms, and ruled out any military role in seizing ballots or voting machines.
