This is cool, but what are they expecting from this? They think local LEOs are going to stop them? A lot of them love Trump.

Lock em up on sight until at least after the election.

“The only reason why we would be at polling places is if there is a threat to that polling place,” he said, “or we’re serving a warrant..."

In June, ICE agents entered a polling site in Syracuse, N.Y., to interrogate an election volunteer over a social media post that she made five months earlier regarding the fatal ICE shooting of a woman in Minneapolis

So an old social media post is all it takes for them to consider it a threat to a polling place, and actually ENTER THE BUILDING.

And we all know they never have a warrant, and if they do, it's invalid.

So that's two lies in one sentence.
