New Lawsuit Challenges Trump-Vance Administration Plan to Send Armed ICE Officers Into Polling Places

Civil rights organizations, including LULAC and Common Cause, along with the city of Denver, have filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump-Vance administration's policy allowing armed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to enter polling places for immigration enforcement during the 2026 midterm elections. The lawsuit argues this policy violates a long-standing federal law prohibiting armed federal personnel at polling places and could intimidate voters.
