‘No plan to deploy ICE at voting places, but…’: ICE Director fires back at Thompson’s grilling

A tense congressional hearing erupted as Rep. Bennie Thompson repeatedly questioned an ICE official over immigration enforcement, judicial warrants, and concerns about voter intimidation ahead of upcoming elections. The exchange intensified after Thompson pressed the agency on whether it would follow the law while conducting enforcement operations. The ICE official responded that there is no plan to deploy ICE agents at voting places, while defending the agency's enforcement practices and rejecting claims that ICE is being used to intimidate voters.
