DHS says no immigration agents at polls; Mullin warns illegal voters
On Election Day, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned noncitizens against voting, while DHS said it will not send immigration enforcement agents to polling places.
Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin warned noncitizens not to vote in the midterms. He said DHS will "hunt down" anyone who votes illegally, according to The Hill. In a post, he said the department will find ineligible voters and that they will be prosecuted.
CBS News reports DHS announced it will not send immigration enforcement agents to the polls on Tuesday. Mullin spoke with CBS News about the department's Election Day plans.
Mullin also dismissed a warning from former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton had said earlier this week that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers could try to intimidate voters at polling places. Mullin told Fox News host Will Cain, "I don't understand why Hillary is still relevant."
