- A Department of Homeland Security (DHS) official has assured state election administrators that immigration agents will not be deployed to polling stations during the upcoming November midterm elections.
- Heather Honey, the deputy assistant secretary for election integrity, conveyed this message, stating that "any suggestion that ICE will be present at any polling location is simply not true."
- This assurance aims to allay significant Democratic concerns about potential interference from the Trump administration in midterm voting and ballot-counting processes.
- Democratic officials' concerns are heightened by actions such as the Department of Justice filing lawsuits for voter data, Trump's continued propagation of false fraud claims, and an FBI raid on an election office in Fulton County, Georgia.
- Despite her role, Honey is known as an election conspiracy theorist who has previously supported false claims regarding the 2020 election results.
