What happened
Former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homan stated that ICE has no plans to conduct enforcement operations at polling stations.
The remarks were reported by Sina Finance Express and carried by East Money Information.
Why it matters
The statement addresses whether a federal immigration enforcement agency would be present at voting locations, a setting where the presence of law enforcement can affect how voters behave.
Because the comment comes from a former ICE official rather than a current one, it signals a position but does not by itself represent an official agency policy announcement.
Key facts
Homan is a former acting director of ICE.
Homan said ICE has no plans to carry out enforcement operations at polling stations.
The report was published on 2026-09-13.
What to watch next
Whether ICE or the Department of Homeland Security issues any formal statement on enforcement activity at or near polling places.
Whether the remarks are followed by further clarification from current officials.
