'Trump Alludes to Ominous Plans When Asked About ICE At the Polls'

(TPM) "While administration officials went from side-stepping the question to openly embracing the potential that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers might be being deployed (illegally) to polling places in November, President Trump himself has yet to speak on the topic — whether by design, as ICE’s popularity plummeted earlier this year, or not."

"On Tuesday, Trump finally directly answered a question about sending armed federal law enforcement to the polls in the fall. PBS Newshour’s Liz Landers asked Trump if he planned to send the National Guard or ICE agents to voting locations."

“ 'I’d do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections,' Trump said. 'We have to have honest elections.' "

"The remarks come after he posted on Truth Social over the weekend, ominously foreshadowing the deployment of some sort of 'Election Integrity Army' of his allies for the midterms."
