One statement is a direct threat by a fascist regime to commit a federal crime to influence elections.
The other is absurd and has no consequence.

I'll be working as chairperson of my polling precinct. We follow the election laws set by the state which includes ejecting from the premises any person or persons interfering with the voting process. ICE can go fuck themselves.

I'm sure they'll politely respect your wishes. :|

If mail ballots get rejected in bulk as the recent whistleblower claimed they would, if you go to the poll to vote because you didn't receive a ballot by mail, ICE will be there to insure you can or can't vote?

I'm sure Minnesotans will be ready to show ICE agents how welcome they are at poling places. Are you?

Yeah I’m sure you’ll make something up to justify it, like a sudden wave of undocumented people on an ICE hit list decide to invade our polling places across the country, who are trying to cheat the poor, old GOP out a win.
I don’t even know why they’re going to all this trouble. Some pretty solid polls are indicating Dems aren’t going to take much ground at all. The GOP already ensured that when they gerrymandered the red and battleground states into MAGA hell.

Well at least when Bernie asks him if he's a US Senator now, Mullwayne Markedface there will have to answer no now.
Fake tough guy.
