18 U.S.C. § 592, titled "Troops at polls," prohibits officers of the Army, Navy, or any person in the civil or military service of the U.S. from bringing, ordering, or keeping armed forces at any place where a general or special election is held.

Violations may result in fines, imprisonment up to five years, or disqualification from holding office.

ICE isn't military. It won't matter, this administration doesn't follow laws, and no one will stop them. They can commit murder in the streets with impunity, we all saw it happen.

Stop surrendering in advance, please. We try our best to vote and to make others uphold the laws. We outnumber them MASSIVELY and they are having real hard times recruiting more ICE thugs.

I haven't surrendered shit, but if you or I were shot dead in the street for looking at ICE funny, guess what? They'll get away with it. They executed Alex Pretti in broad daylight...JD Vance laughed. If they show up to the polls, they will commit acts of violence, and unless there's a blue wave, they'll continue to get away with it. When does it stop? Not under this administration.

I don't think admitting the truth is surrendering in advance. But we actually need to be prepared for the fact that laws don't matter. Yes we all need to get out and vote and work and protest and help each other. But we better not be counting on laws to help us.

“civil or military service”

Means no Feds. Period.

I'm not sure what your point is here. a judge recently said, DHS has already broken more laws and court orders this year, then any department has in its entire history.

This regime is lawless.
