NAACP Files Emergency Action to Block Federal Law Enforcement Agents from Polling Sites

The NAACP, along with Advancement Project and LDF, filed an emergency Temporary Restraining Order on November 2, 2026, in *NAACP v Blanche* to prevent federal law enforcement agents from the Bureau of Prisons, Drug Enforcement Agency, and ATF from acting as federal "election monitors" at polling sites. The organizations argue that the presence of law enforcement can intimidate voters, particularly Black voters, and violates the Voting Rights Act.
