亚利桑那州国务卿阿德里安·丰特斯（Adrian Fontes）表示，在简报会上，国土安全部负责选举诚信事务的副助理部长希瑟·哈尼（Heather Honey）对州官员称：”任何声称移民与海关执法局（ICE）会出现在任何投票地点的说法都是完全不实的。”
缅因州国务卿申娜·贝洛斯（Shenna Bellows）在简报会上表示，特朗普政府若将移民与海关执法局（ICE）部署到投票站，将违反宪法。
贝洛斯的办公室称，这一表态是回应加利福尼亚州国务卿雪莉·韦伯（Shirley Weber）关于各州是否会收到投票地点移民行动警报的询问。
国土安全部一名官员告诉路透社，如果”出现活跃的公共安全威胁危及”投票地点，ICE可能不得不出现在投票地点。该官员表示，作为针对性执法行动的结果，可能会进行逮捕。
美国将于11月3日举行州长、国会及其他职位的中期选举。初选将于下月开始，以确定各党派的标准候选人。
选举期间，唐纳德·特朗普总统正推行一场激进的移民竞选活动。这场遭移民活动人士和民主党人谴责的竞选活动，已导致由蒙面联邦移民特工领导的镇压行动。

WASHINGTON, Feb 25 (Reuters) – The U.S. Department of Homeland Security said on Wednesday it was not planning immigration operations targeting polling locations during this year’s midterm election, after an official made similar comments to state election officials earlier in the day.
The department, which has virtual oversight for immigration, joined the federal Election Assistance Commission and other agencies for a virtual briefing on Wednesday with state election officials.

During that call, Heather Honey, a deputy assistant secretary for election integrity at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, told state officials, “Any suggestion that ICE will be present at any polling location is simply not true,” according to Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes.
Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows said during a briefing it would be unconstitutional for the Trump administration to deploy Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to the polls.
The comment was in response to California Secretary of State Shirley Weber’s question about whether or not states would be alerted to immigration operations at polling sites, her office said.

A Homeland Security official told Reuters it is possible that ICE would have to appear at a polling location “if an active public safety threat endangered” that location. The official said an arrest would have to be carried out as a result of targeted enforcement action.
The U.S. will hold its midterm elections for gubernatorial, congressional and other offices on Nov. 3. Primary races start next month to determine which candidates will be their parties’ standard bearers.
The election will be held as President Donald Trump embarks on an aggressive immigration campaign. That campaign, which has been decried by immigrant activists and Democrats, has resulted in crackdowns led by masked federal immigration agents.
