ICE is already showing up near voting sites, bolstering lawsuit against armed agents at polls
Among the newest examples is an ICE detention that took place in the same area California voters had to pass through to reach a ballot drop box.

How do I know Hegseth’s order to deny access to bases to members of Congress is about a cover up, not about safety? Because I asked for a military briefing at the embassy as a substitute and was told the policy prohibited military leaders in the region from even talking to me.
