It was filed by the liberal-leaning legal group Democracy Forward, on behalf of the League of United Latin American Citizens, Common Cause, UnidosUS and the city of Denver.<\/p>\n<p>The suit cited <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/18\/592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a provision<\/a> of federal law that makes it a crime for officials to oversee or order the deployment of &#8220;any troops or armed men&#8221; to &#8220;any place where a general or special election is held,&#8221; unless such a deployment is needed to repel &#8220;armed enemies of the United States.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Although some MAGA personalities, like Steve Bannon, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/steve-bannon-ice-surround-polls-november\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">have called on ICE<\/a> to &#8220;surround the polls,&#8221; Trump administration officials have denied concrete plans for such deployments, while at the same time not categorically ruling out the presence of agents at polling sites under some circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>During <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c-span.org\/program\/news-conference\/homeland-security-secretary-mullin-on-ice-enforcement-operations-in-new-york\/684686\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a news conference in New York City<\/a> earlier this month, DHS Secretary Mullin said that &#8220;ICE isn&#8217;t there to patrol the polling places.&#8221; \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But Mullin said ICE could be at polling places if there&#8217;s &#8220;a threat&#8221; to such sites or if agents are serving a warrant for someone they&#8217;ve &#8220;been actively tracking down.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If we&#8217;re serving a warrant, we will be where we need to be,&#8221; Mullin said when pressed again on the issue.<\/p>\n<p>ICE&#8217;s deportation branch is mainly in charge of locating, arresting, detaining and deporting people who entered the U.S. illegally or otherwise violated federal immigration law. Its Homeland Security Investigations branch has historically focused on dismantling criminal activity with an international nexus, but has increasingly been assigned to help with immigration enforcement and investigations into alleged voter fraud.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Gen.
