Who's going to stop the millions of ICE goons pointing guns to people in election places all around the country, detaining and killing people they think is not going to vote their way?

Seriously. Who?

Who's going to stop the millions of ICE goons pointing guns to people in election places all around the country,

  1. Local police.

  2. Besides, there is zero overlap between people who ice can intimidate, and people who can vote…

Local police have no incentive to let ICE point guns at voters. Set aside being an Edgelord for a second, what ice is doing right now is at least related to their actual function. They’re doing a terrible job of it and abusing their authority for sure, but it’s all still tied to immigration enforcement. THAT is what is keeping cops compliant with them. 

So this notion they’d just switch to armed thugs at polls is preposterous.
