Federal Agents at Polls? Lawmakers Sound Alarm | Portland News

Published 2 weeks, 2 days ago
Description

Senators from Oregon and Washington are sounding the alarm as newly uncovered documents hint at federal plans to deploy law enforcement to polling stations — a move they warn could violate voter intimidation laws. With ICE and CBP confirming they found thousands of related records, lawmakers are demanding transparency: who authorized these discussions, whether agents or troops will be sent, and what records exist. Amid President Trump’s recent election-related threats and talk of invoking the Insurrection Act, the senators are urging the administration to clarify its intentions before November — so voters don’t have to wonder if federal agents are watching their ballot boxes.
