What kind of "threat" at a polling place would fall under the jurisdiction of Immigration and Customs Enforcement?? That is not their statutory mission anymore than bank robbery or kidnapping. They can only investigate and enforce limited immigration & customs laws. It's in their damn name!

Democracy is the threat they're afraid of

When he rattled off the thousands of numbers of illegal voters, did she challenge him in any way?

So count on them being there. And vote anyway. Stand up to bullies.

Trump didn't deploy federal troops during the January 6th attack on the capitol. There's no way there will be a bigger threat than that at a polling place on Election Day

So, who knew appointing an ignorant, unaccomplished plumber as U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security would be such a bad idea?

ICE is the threat.

What type of “threat” would possibly require ICE at a polling place?

Like losing the election?

As they always do, they’ll declare a (fictional) threat so they can “justify” voter intimidation.

Enter Brooks Brothers Part II. Hey, it worked in Florida and in this way SCOTUS will make the final decision, again.

OK, based on who's definition of "threat"?

The right calls in threats for sport. 

Didn’t regime admit to disrupting all previous elections?

Perfect 👌

Who wants to take odds on those threats being geographically placed? Say, predominantly blue cities? 🙄

Kansas could go Dem for Senate. Who knows about Texas…? It’s exciting. But the existential threat to Trump et al is real. I fear for what desperate measures they could resort to.

Open invitation signaled to right wing extremists to call in threats

Never have been threats, only them really.

Who defines the ‘threat’…?

They are not law enforcement. Period

And guess who will call in the "anonymous threats?" Don't you all get it yet? ICE will be there. The National Guard will seize ballots. Yes, vote. It won't be counted.

It's flat-out illegal for them to be there, full stop.

You are the threat…

The threat: people voting all of your asses out.

Prepare for all sorts of anonymous calls cited by this administration that conveniently come just before or at the onset of polls opening. Armed personnel at your voting stations. Congratulations to the newly confirmed latest banana republic. Mr trump will have succeeded in his wish.

He is the f’ing threat.

A threat like losing an election?

Like losing the election..

The threat being the Republican Party losing all its elections. bsky.app/profile/atru...

You’d have to be pretty dum…

Like millions of voters did…

👆👆

Translation: We are definitely interfering in the election

I am working the polls. The last thing I want to see is ICE thugs anywhere near my polling place. They are a threat to the republic and the voting process. I will die on this hill and gladly be arrested.

The threat is fascism by the Trump Admin.

They are the threat. It's a deliberate threat to keep people away. Everyone knows if you march their colour chart they will probably detain you. Typical Trump cheat tactic.

Rabid skunks, possible stormy weather, an epidemic of littering, I'm sure any kind of threat will do for him.

Why would ICE be there?

“…that we invent.”

Watch how many bomb threats there will be to make sure ICE will be there

threat assessment as threat assistant.

Just how many bomb threats can you plan before it becomes a hoax?

We cannot underestimate what these guys are planning to do to dissuade and intimidate voters.

ICE isn’t a threat response operation. That’s the police.

A threat for what? Violence? That is for the local police. ICE BRINGS the violence with them.

WHAT THREAT?????

The threat will be black and brown people voting. We live in a Russia-like country now. Be prepared.

🖕MAGAt Markwayne

Like any non white person voting?

Make no mistake. To him, the “threat” is legitimate votes by POC and democrats.

Bullshit

An unreported story is that millions of people in red states are perfectly fine with this, because they know the only "threats" that will be looked at in this administration are ones coming out of blue states or blue areas within red states (in other words, not real threats at all).

He means the "threat" of democracy.

So many arrests, so many people sitting in concentration camps illegally, ZERO convictions. Markwayne Chickenshit Asshole.

He’s such a liar. They will manufacture the threat at all the strategic locations. Just watch

Oh you can bet they already know what that “threat” will be. 🤬🤬

Their own supporters will report false threats to ensure ICE deploys to polling locations. They will also ramp up fake threats to disrupt the entire process in general.

The threat being the regime will lose and be put on trial.

And don’t worry, there will be a threat.

the threat is *you*, markwayne

Trump's SA.

What's the chances that they'll make up a "threat"?

Let me guess, he will determine what a threat is, right?

Such unmitigated bullshit. He gave up a safe Senate seat to pimp this fascist nonsense. #ICE #Election2026 #MarkWayneMullin

Threat: a Democrat voting.

What an asshole

Patel said the same thing. But the only threat is the two of them, and their ICE thugs.

To them, people voting is a threat.

Blue states huh?

The threat is potentially losing. They’ll be in blue areas only.

Because he knows he is going to jail. Can’t have that.

No it is a polling place. On election day a cop has to see you commit a felony to even pull you over. We have rules and laws and they are clear about armed agents- NO!

Unless they happened to be staged close to a large # of polling sites, they would have a hard time getting to a specific one. Unless they know beforehand that there will be a threat that requires them. Sounds to me like there has been some preplanning by mullin.

It is not the role of ICE to deal with threats. They are not trained for it, they are not equipped for it, and it is not in their purview. If there are threats at polling places, local and state police have the responsibility and the capabilities to respond in a timely and effective manner.

Can Mr. Secretary please name one occasion where there was a “threat” in the past? Just one.

The only threat to voters is the entire Trump mob/regime looking to hold power so they don’t get indicted.

Which means MAGA bomb threats on blue polling places?

There are 1-2 every election at the legal setback watching for trouble or traffic control. Often there is one in the hallway in case an election warden calls for police

🇺🇸💩 Gestapo / Stasi

They will be in minority strongholds.

this is definitely not the job of ice

"Some type of threat" Gotta leave it vague so the orange stain can do whatever it wants.

Deploying any government agent is a threat to all of us. We have everything and more set into place for only registered citizens to vote. There is no voter fraud but there is election fraud by the POTUS. He will deploy his thugs and continue to sew seeds of discontent. Russia was never a hoax.

The threat is trump and his thugs!!! The threat is all the GOP cheaters.

That's not ICE's role, like at all.

The threat is me, voting straight Democratic ticket. Mullin is welcome to send however many goons he wants to my little precinct on November 3 to watch. Just not armed. That would be a violation of the law that he cares so much about.

Since when is it ICE's job to respond to threats??

Dude, you are the threat! Time for some introspection here.

‘Made over 151 arrests’

...when in fact THEY are the threat!

Sure, that "threat" is if they see he's losing. Vote like our democracy depends on it, because it DOES!

VOTE EARLY TO AVOID THIS BULLSHIT!

ICE is the threat!

marqwueayne: and there's definitely a threat

He's creating the threat. Duh....

They will announce a threat. The threat will be as real as their promises to give Americans tariff checks. 🤦‍♀️

And what possible threat could there be at polling places that ICE is equipped to handle? Oh, right. Non-white American citizens, exercising their right to vote That’s where you deploy your politician’s street gang, armed with masks, guns, and badges

He is the threat.

Like they did in 2020 when they saw he was losing.

ICE is the threat

Are you a fascist tool like your good friend here, @heinrich.senate.gov?

As he fabricates threats

"We're only going to be there if it's a threat to the president."

What an idiot no wonder Oklahoma is 51 in education

Markwayne Moron that’s the name Making up threats is the game

Some Of these guys need some MAGA treatment. Publish their home addresses.

The threat is coming from inside the house.

There are organizations who are looking for volunteers to be poll observers. Everyone please consider getting the training so we have witnesses at the polling places. Shine a light on this bullshit!

Oh, ok, so y'all will have your overseas troll army call in fake bomb threats to justify deploying ICE? Got it.

$1.4 million in PPP loans went to businesses tied to Markwayne & they were forgiven

Well I trust these people won’t make any pretense of a threat or anything. /s

I like government officials who actually know what the law is and know their job is to follow it.

BINGO🤬

What I said too.

Trump will claim an imminent threat and ICE will flood polling stations in Dem areas. And arrest and harass *US citizens* early on polling day so news gets out in a deliberate effort to suppress vote turnout.

By "threat" he absolutely means Democrats and brown skinned people daring to cast a vote.

"I'm only going to punch you in the face if you make me feel that's necessary"

…and The “threat” is Democrats voting.

What threat against ICE?
