Inspired by WA former Governor Inslee, https://open.substack.com/pub/meidastouch/p/dont-let-ice-freeze-voting : the current budget bill re funding for DHS should prohibit ICE and CBP agents from being within at a least a mile of any polling place.
If you live in the U.S., call your Senators and tell them so.

Don’t Let ICE Freeze Voting

@heidilifeldman and in vote by mail states, all residences and wine bars are polling locations, so federal thugs would be restricted to national forests and BLM lands

@portlandy @heidilifeldman I love this thought of thugs patrolling and helping with forest and land management. Let's make it so! At least that would be useful for wildfire mitigation, fire break building, and such. Then they can go ask hunters "papers please!" 😆

@heidilifeldman 👍

@heidilifeldman That mile exclusion zone should apply in all three dimensions - otherwise ICE/CBP will fly drones over voting places.

Also, within that one mile exclusion zone: no license readers, facial recognizers, or any app or other device that creates a link between a person and his/her location.
