Newsom Warns ICE Agents Against Intervening at California Polling Stations

Newsom said 134 election law attorneys and 1,000 volunteer poll workers are being deployed as California counters voter intimidation and federal interference.

  • California Governor Gavin Newsom threatened yesterday to arrest and prosecute Federal agents if they appear at polling locations on Election Day.
  • Customs Enforcement published a warning declaring, "If you vote illegally, we will find you," to deter illegal voting, prompting Newsom's response.
  • Mimicking the agency's phrasing, Newsom wrote, "If YOU show up to the polls illegally, we will find you," threatening Federal agents with arrest.
  • A Federal judge ruled Monday that law enforcement must remain unarmed and without arrest powers at polls, as Federal law restricts armed agents at election sites.
  • The Department of Homeland Security stated ICE has no plans to target polling sites, despite Newsom's repeated accusations that Donald Trump seeks to interfere in elections.
