Threat of stationing immigration agents around voting locations has become a concern as it can be a deterrent to legal residents of color who are concerned they may be harassed by federal agents
How many polling stations are there in solidly blue areas?
If I needed to intimidate people into not voting but I only had 30,000 brownshirts I would just be very selective about where I send them, where they’ll have the most impact. Sending one anywhere isn’t going to do anything, it needs to be a large visible presence in order to more effectively spread that fear.
I bet 30,000 ICE agents at the “15 or so” places where Trump needs a better handle on the voting would be enough to change people’s minds about being there. Or maybe even stir up the base to have them come out and “help” the ICE army “monitor” the process. It feels like anything is on the table at this point.

Pretty much everywhere is looking solidly blue right now.
