Nothing says "free and fair" like a masked man with a warrant standing between you and the booth.

On Tuesday, Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin told reporters that ICE "isn't there to patrol the polling places" — and then explained when it would be: a threat, or a warrant on someone they've been "actively tracking down."

"If we're serving a warrant we will be where we need to be."

Attorney General Todd Blanche, asked earlier this year about the same idea: "What's the risk?"

Asked whether he understood why voters might be intimidated: "I'm not aware of that concern."

Federal law is aware.

Under 18 U.S.C. § 592, an official who orders or keeps "armed men" at a polling place faces up to five years in prison and a lifetime ban from federal office.

The Justice Department's own guidance says FBI agents and U.S. marshals can't be stationed at an open poll at all, because they carry guns on duty.

A warrant has never changed that.

The same week, ICE's investigative arm posted a contract worth up to $5 million for a vendor to collect voter registration and voting-history files from states the government picks, with the ability to pull all 50.

The vendor would act as ICE's "designated acquisition agent" to get around state limits.

Party affiliation stays out unless ICE asks "in writing." Three privacy and democracy groups have already sued.

The Justice Department's concurrent data grab shows a disturbing pattern. It asked red states politely and sent formal demands to Pennsylvania, Nevada, Wisconsin and New York.

As a reminder, noncitizen voting is already a felony and, by every audit, vanishingly rare.

Come November, ICE won’t be there to arrest noncitizens. They’ll be there to stop you from showing up in the first place.

Don’t. Let. Them.
