flag New Mexico and other Democratic states ban armed federal immigration agents at polling places ahead of 2026 midterms, citing voter intimidation fears.

flag Democratic-led states, including New Mexico, are passing laws to ban armed federal immigration agents from polling places ahead of the 2026 midterms, citing concerns over voter intimidation despite federal denials of such plans. flag New Mexico’s law, effective May 2026, imposes fines up to $50,000 and allows civil lawsuits for violations. flag At least half a dozen other states are considering similar measures, driven by distrust of the Trump administration’s past rhetoric on federal election control and immigration enforcement. flag A group of eight secretaries of state is demanding written assurances from Trump’s Homeland Security nominee. flag While federal law already restricts armed federal personnel at polls except in emergencies, state actions may face legal challenges over constitutional authority.
