Note to Trump: "F*CK YOU, "SIR".." ICE Director says 'No reason' for agents at polling places. In conclusion, F*CK TRUMP [View all]

"So I have to ask Mr. Lyons, do you believe that ICE has the authority to be deployed to U.S. polling places around the country?" she wondered.

"So if the president of the United States gets Kristi Noem on the phone and she gets you on the phone and she says, we've heard there's a problem in Georgia or in Michigan or somewhere else. I need you to go and physically deploy around polling locations. You will say no," Slotkin pressed.

"There's no reason for us to deploy," the acting director confirmed.
