## Resource

Civil rights groups and unions have launched a lawsuit to block ICE agents from appearing at polling places, arguing it violates federal law and constitutes voter intimidation. They warn the move will scare off minority voters, naturalized citizens, and families with mixed immigration status, undermining democratic participation. The Department of Justice denies any such plans, calling claims “fearmongering,” while the NAACP labels the tactic an effort to militarize voting sites and disenfranchise voters. The legal battle hinges on laws protecting election sanctuaries and prohibiting coercion — as major civil rights and labor organizations unite to defend the right to vote without fear.
