No ICE at the polls!

If Trump uses ICE agents to intimidate voters, these DAs will prosecute them.

SIGN NOW: No ICE at the polls. Thank the district attorneys who’ve promised to prosecute ICE agents if they intimidate voters – and urge more to join them >> SIGN THE PETITION Pamela, Trump and his cronies are still refusing to give a straight answer about whether they’ll deploy ICE to intimidate voters at polling locations this November. [1] Now, district attorneys across the country are answering for them with a simple message: If Trump uses ICE agents to intimidate voters, these DAs will prosecute them. [2] There’s no ambiguity here – sending armed federal agents to intimidate voters at the polls is illegal, plain and simple. [3] We’ve all seen how these out-of-control ICE agents operate: racial profiling, targeting people for the language they speak, and terrorizing entire communities. These tactics have no place in America, especially not at the ballot box. This is yet another desperate step in Trump’s plot to “guarantee” the midterms – not by winning over voters, but by silencing us. These district attorneys are taking real action to stop this scheme. Join us to urge more to follow suit. Sign the Petition: Thank these public servants for taking bold action to protect voters – and urge more to take a stand against ICE intimidation at the polls >> SIGN THE PETITION Trump knows that he can’t win a fair fight in November, so he’s looking for every possible way to suppress voters and sow fear ahead of the election. And even if he never follows through on these threats, just floating the idea of ICE at polling places can intimidate voters, create confusion, and make it harder for election officials to do their jobs. [4] We can’t afford to treat this like an empty threat or wait until Election Day to respond. We need to shut this down now – loudly, clearly, and before these threats become normalized. That’s why Common Cause is taking action now: ramping up our Election Protection volunteer program to help voters cast their ballots, suing to stop Trump from compiling private voter data, and urging more district attorneys – Democrats and Republicans alike – to publicly commit to prosecuting any federal agents who try to intimidate voters. We need your voice with us. Add your name to reject ICE at the polls – and thank local district attorneys for standing up to Trump >> Every eligible voter deserves to cast a ballot free from fear and intimidation. We hope you’ll take action today to help guarantee that for all.
