Sec. Mullin on Midterms: If a Threat Were to Arise for Whatever Reason at a Polling Station, ICE Agents Are Trained to Respond
RUSH EXCERPT:
MULLIN: "Keep in mind, ice agents are there to flex if we need to. So you saw ice at tsa lines not processing, but in the soft areas. If a threat were to arise for whatever reason at a polling station, say, a bomb threat would be called in, our ice agents are more than just immigration customs enforcement. They‘re also trained to have srt, which means that we can have an emergency team respond quickly. The only reason why we would be there is not for voter identification. It would be because a law enforcement is needed and the local law enforcement would be part of that conversation, so we wouldn‘t show up on our own. We would be getting asked to show up, but not for immigration purposes, because, as I said, the only people that should be in line are American citizens. So there should be no reason to have any type."
