One of President Donald Trump's chief political architects declared that the federal government plans to deploy U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents to polling stations during the November midterm elections.
"We're going to have ICE surround the polls come November," Steve Bannon, who served as a senior advisor during the first Trump administration, said during a Feb. 3 episode of his War Room podcast.
"We're not going to sit here and allow you to steal the country again," he added. "And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen."
Immigration and Customs Enforcement didn't immediately respond to a request for comment on Bannon's statements.
The remarks will likely pour more gasoline on the inferno of speculation among Trump's critics who warn that the administration intends to interfere with the upcoming fall contests, which many predict will give Democrats control of at least one chamber in Congress.
Democrats have expanded their lead in the generic congressional ballot to 52%-48%, a Harvard CAPS / Harris Poll taken Jan. 28 and 29 found.
