Step 1: Show the people that ICE can kill anybody.
Step 2: Have ICE show up at polling stations in areas where people vote against Trump, so those neighborhoods do not go vote.
@randahl So scarry, and #Republicans let that happen ?
Army at polling stations = #dictatorship.
UN can send their peace keepers if they want, much better than ICE.

The comments, made on a conservative podcast, follow a string of moves from his admin to try to exert more control over #US elections.

"The unhinged behavior that we have seen from federal immigration officials, including the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti, who were shot while drawing attention to or recording agents’ behavior, is a direct consequence of power without accountability. On Sunday, ProPublica revealed the names of the two agents involved in the Pretti shooting:"

"Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) then read text messages between ICE agents after one of them shot US citizen Marimar Martinez: 'The agent texted, 5 shots - 7 holes. I fired 5 rounds and she had 7 holes. Put that in your book, boys! Oh well, it is what it is. Shit happens.'”

"Republicans are trying to regain support by seeming to back off their extremism, although they are not backing far: not a single Republican showed up for a public forum held today in Washington, D.C., by Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Representative Robert Garcia (D-CA) and other Democrats on ICE violence."
