Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger Signing Executive Order to Keep ICE Away From Polling Places

[Darkwind]

Funny I thought it was over ICE agents possibly being sent to patrol polling stations in Va. I say it's illegal.

18 U.S.C. § 592—Troops at Polls. The statutory text is instructive:


I highlighted the word “civil” because it would clearly apply to any federal law enforcement personnel—ICE, FBI, etc.

Patrol for what? If there are illegals in the crowd, they need to be arrested. No one will be standing at the polls telling them how to vote.

The entire notion is preposterous and highlights just how unhinged you clowns have become.

Stay away from our polling places while we conduct business!

More whataboutism huh? It's getting pretty tough to defend Trump's bullshit without resorting to it isn't it?

Odd you whine about whataboutism in a thread having nothing to do with Trump, yet, your obsession with Trump causes you to impose your obsession in the thread.

Tough to defend Biden when he abdicated his role as president.

Fake

Come to find out there are few bank robberies so bank security is intimidating and meaningless.

Reuters has noted that even the pro-Trump Heritage Foundation’s database of election crimes listed only 24 instances of noncitizens voting in U.S. elections from 2003 to 2023.

In 2023 alone there were over 1,200 bank robberies.

Who will enforce it
Federal police vs local yokels

…..and are local yokel police any less “ intimidating “ than ICE?

 

[kyzr]

So who stops illegals from voting by mail-in?

Democrat states won't let the Feds see their voter rolls.

US Justice Department sues 6 more states, including NY and California, in its quest for voter data

The U.S. Justice Department is suing six more states, saying the states refused to turn over their voter registration lists.

All this ICE crap is really about is the elimination of all police

The funniest part of you MAGAts and all your aquiescence to government overeach is all the YEARS and years of bullshit, NRA 2nd Amendment talk about how our right to keep and bear arms is absolutely necessary to protect ourselves against a "tyrannical gub-ment!"
Only now that that day is here you fools side WITH that tyrannical government and roll over on your backs exposing your soft bellies and come up with horseshit platitudes to excuse the tyranny like "well if your not doing anything illegal you shouldn't mind the tyranny."
Disgusting.

Making sure illegals aren't voting isn't against the law. Unless you make it that way, which is what the Virginia governor just did. Who wants tyranny government again?

At this point, the desperate democrats might as well advertise for illegals to vote in elections. Democrats won’t prosecute them and thats what they’re here for.

If, as democrats insist, illegals don’t vote, why the need for an “executive order” to keep ICE away?

Virginia’s new Democrat Governor Abigail Spanberger has just announced that she is signing an executive order to keep ICE agents away from polling places.

Why do you suppose such a thing would be necessary?

Democrats assure us that illegal aliens are not voting because they are forbidden from doing so by law. So why would they be worried about ICE showing up at polling places? It just doesn’t make any sense.

Federal law strictly prohibits the deployment of military troops and armed federal agents to any location where a general or special election is being held, such as polling places and vote-counting centers. [1, 2]
The exact statute, 18 U.S. Code § 592, dictates that any officer of the Army, Navy, or person in the civil or military service of the U.S. who brings, keeps, or controls troops or armed men at an election place will face fines, up to five years in prison, and permanent disqualification from holding federal office. The only exception to this prohibition is if the force is necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States. [1]
Additional federal restrictions—including Department of Defense directives and the Posse Comitatus Act—prohibit the military from conducting operations at polling places or executing domestic laws without a specific statutory exception. Furthermore, federal and state laws carry severe penalties for anyone, whether a law enforcement officer or a civilian, who attempts to intimidate or harass voters at the polls. [1, 2, 3]

You acknowledge that they do.

What to do… what to do.

Illegal aliens must be voting, otherwise why would Democrats want to forbid ICE from being near polling places? Besides, if you are an illegal alien you should be always looking over your shoulder because sooner or later ICE is righteously and legally coming to emigrate you.

A long, tedious cut and paste for what? I routinely see police at voting locations. Police are certainly “armed men at an election place”.

That's all well, good and legal. Wont stop a lawless Benedict Donald. What they need to do is set up an Ice Watch Brigade from the State Guard in Va. to keep an eye on Benedict Donald's Private Militia and keep them from intimidating voters.

But….. but….. but we’re told in this thread that illegals don’t vote.

What to do… what to do.

I believe most everyone knows to qualified their statements to not be so definitive, even if the number is so low that it is practically zero. Non citizens. 24 in 2 decades of voting in the USA.

But Benedict Donald conned you into thinking that was the reason he lost his ass to Joe Biden!

Don't feel too bad, Benedict is the greatest Con man America has ever produced.

My personal feeling is that if a person allows themselves to be intimidated out of voting, they shouldn’t be a citizen, because voting is a duty. If someone will not do their duty in the face of intimidation, then in my opinion they are not qualified to be a citizen. As the saying goes, freedom is not free — sometimes it requires sacrifice.

After all, if a citizen will not stand up and demand their right to vote, how can you expect them to take up arms and resist a tyrant who might try to take over the government? Let me make something clear: these claims that Trump is a dictator or a tyrant are just political manipulation. You will know a real tyrant when one comes. A true tyrant would do things like attempt to override state authority, replace state governments with federally controlled districts run by loyalists, or try to disarm the population. Those are the kinds of actions that signal tyranny.

What part of federal do you not understand?

 

[Moonglow]

ICE can't hang around voting sites anyway.

 

[Hollie]

Wha5 part of police being armed are you clueless about?

Local police are allowed at the polling stations. They are not federal agents.
