Local DAs warn federal agents against showing up at polling places, threaten prosecution (Philadelphia)
MS.Now ^ | 5/25/26 | Allison Detzel

Posted on 05/25/2026 2:25:42 PM PDT by Libloather

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.

Yes. Reminds me of the magazine cartoon of a black militant screaming, his fist raised in anger on TV news and a white haired woman at home saying:
“I just love the way he says ‘mother’.”

Intimidating to American citizens or intimidating to trespassing foreign nationals voting illegally?

Ice would only intimidate illegal voters who shouldn’t be voting anyway.

Why do Traitorcrats think ICE agents would be interested in polling places.... unless that is where the Traitorcrats have fraudulently registered illegal aliens to come and vote?

So Dem DAs threaten to arrest federal agents if they try to intimidate people voting illegally? This ought to be good. I thought the whole point of police presence was to intimidate criminals from committing crimes. The Dems has become the party of loons, crotch sniffers, and crooks. Here is a memo for all those DAs who somehow missed ant discussion of the supremacy clause in their first year of law school. The federal government can enforce federal law in any and every part of the United States including in your office. There are no carve outs. We fought a whole war over that and your side lost. You don’t get to opt out and you don’t get to pick and choose which laws you want to obey.

What they are saying federal agents will do is against the law for anyone. Federal agents have no authority at state poling places other than common citizens so they are trying to spectacularize nothing about nothing to create havoc. Alinsky.

There is video footage of an interview with the shorter “Panther” who has the beard. He demonstrated himself to be as dumb as f***.
