As election officials across the country brace for the possibility of federal agents descending on polling sites in November, a nationwide coalition of Democratic district attorneys has vowed to prosecute any federal agent suspected of intimidating voters.
The announcement, first reported by Politico, comes shortly after President Donald Trump refused to rule out sending U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers to election sites during the midterms. “I’d do anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections,” Trump told reporters earlier this month.
The coalition includes prosecutors from Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Dallas and Northern Virginia, among other jurisdictions.
“We’re ready to go,” Philadelphia District Attorney Larry Krasner told MS NOW’s Chris Jansing on Thursday. “In the same way that my office and the offices of these other members of this group have successfully prosecuted civilians and also prosecuted law enforcement, we will prosecute federal agents who try to interfere with elections.”
“It’s a crime in almost every jurisdiction to engage in election interference under state law,” he added, “and they better get ready for the handcuffs and the jail cell.”
Federal law prohibits voter intimidation and interference at polling sites. Many states also have statutes that criminalize voter intimidation.
The group is part of a nationwide coalition of local prosecutors called the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, formed earlier this year to combat Trump’s executive actions.
“The right to vote without fear of armed government agents at the polls is not negotiable, and it is not subject to the whims of a president,” Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, another member of the coalition, said in a statement.

> we will prosecute federal agents <
Stalin knew something about force. So to paraphrase Stalin:
How many divisions has the DA?
“You’re under arrest!”
“No, you’re under arrest!”
“No, you’re under arrest!”
We need a volunteer to show up at every major poling place in every major blue city wearing a shirt that says ICE on it. All they have to do is stand around and play games on their phone.
Why don’t they just fire on Fort Sumter again and get it over with?
Do these corrupt local attorneys have enough force to try to enforce this BS ?
Only citizens should be at polls anyway
I see no issue
But it’s okay for Obama’s Black Panthers to be there, right?
It's a crime in every jurisdiction to conduct corrupt elections.
...“and they better get ready for the handcuffs and the jail cell.”
You should heed your own warning.
/word of advice
Wasn’t Philadelphia the city where armed black panthers stood in the doorway of a polling station? Are they still in jail? /s
If there are signs that cheating is going on that’s a crime.
"Prior to the formal outbreak of the American Civil War, the tension between the federal government and the Southern states manifested in various acts of defiance, including the harassment, detention, and legal obstruction of federal personnel. While the most famous instances involved the seizure of federal property—such as forts, arsenals, and custom houses—there were specific incidents where state authorities or local mobs targeted federal agents, particularly those involved in the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act or the collection of customs duties.
In the years leading up to 1861, the enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 became a primary flashpoint for conflict between federal authority and state sovereignty. Southern states, while often demanding the federal government enforce the return of enslaved people, simultaneously grew increasingly hostile toward federal agents who were perceived as failing to protect Southern interests or who were seen as representatives of an encroaching Northern political power. As the secession crisis deepened, federal officials—including postmasters, customs collectors, and marshals—found themselves in an increasingly precarious position. In several Southern ports, local authorities began to exert pressure on federal customs officials to resign or to account for federal funds, effectively treating them as agents of a foreign power even before formal secession was complete. One notable category of "prosecution" involved the use of state laws to impede federal function. In various instances, Southern state legislatures passed "personal liberty" style laws or specific statutes that criminalized the actions of federal officers attempting to carry out federal mandates that conflicted with state-declared rights. For example, federal marshals attempting to execute warrants or recover property were frequently met with local indictments for "kidnapping" or "trespass," effectively using the state judiciary to neutralize federal personnel. By the time South Carolina seceded in December 1860, the state government moved to seize federal custom houses and sub-treasury offices, effectively arresting the administrative process of the United States government within its borders and forcing federal employees to either swear allegiance to the new state authority or face expulsion and potential prosecution for treason against the state."

What law are they violating?
If I was a fed, I’d show up hoping they tried it.
I could use an extra 100m
Let the FBI show up right then and there. I still think we need full transparency at all polling stations. Live stream cameras. No back rooms or privacy for thieves.
My hatred is growing more and more intense.
Dems and Socialists are going to try to intimidate GOP voters and are going to threaten them as they did with the black jacket wearing scowling New Black Panthers in front of polling places before this.
The leftists are trying to steal the elections.
Blah blah blah. They don’t have the authority. Just noise.
If fraudulent voting is stopped, the math will be a real problem. Philadelphia is known for the votes cast outnumbering registered eligible voters. It’s not illegals voting. It’s the unions with chartered busses going poll to poll and mass produced mail in ballots.
For all to remember....both polling places and more recently at ICE arrest areas...
(Unfair of me to omit soundtrack which was: “What a beautiful day in the neighborhood. Won’t you be my neighbor?”)
Local DAs and their Illegal voters
Arrested for what. Its hardly interference in any meaningful sense
