'We Would Only Be There If...': Markwayne Mullin Doesn't Rule Out Deploying ICE At Midterm Polls

Published | Video Starts at 00:45

Our ICE agents are more than just immigration custom enforcement. They're also trained to have srt, which means that we can have an emergency team respond quickly. The only reason why we would be there is not for voter identification. It'd be because law enforcement is needed, and the local law enforcement would be part of that conversation. So we wouldn't show up on our own. We would be getting asked to show up, but not for immigration purposes, because, as I said, the only people that should be in line are American citizens.

CLAIM

Asserts that ICE would only be present at polling stations if requested by local law enforcement for security reasons.
