Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) doesnt think Immigrations and Customs Enforcement thugs have any business being near polling places, no matter what Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says.
The Senate Minority Leader was blunt during a Sunday appearance on CNNs State of the Union where he addressed recent remarks Noem made about using her agency to make sure only the right people cast ballots by implementing a nationwide voter ID law and other measures. Thats a lot of bull, Schumer told Jake Tapper, making sure to add how rare election irregularities are in the U.S.
The New York senator also talked about Senate Democrats push to bar ICE officers from polling locations, calling the agents thugs and saying that patrolling voters flies in the face of how democracy has worked since the nations founding. It makes no sense at all, he went on, before claiming poll workers dont want immigration enforcement anywhere near them or intimidating them.
Schumer also spelled out the difference between voter ID laws and the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship and not just state IDs to register to vote. Its like Jim Crow 2.0, he said of the legislation, which passed the House on Wednesday and has been skewered by critics who claim it could disenfranchise millions of legal voters, including women whose married names do not match their passports or birth certificates.
