- ICE agents confronted a New York poll worker on Election Day, demanding she remove social media posts they alleged threatened federal personnel.
- The poll worker, Paigelynne Gonyea, was given a warning notice and believes the investigation stemmed from her post sharing the name of an ICE agent involved in a fatal shooting.
- Gonyea argued her post did not constitute doxing, as it did not include private details like addresses or phone numbers.
- Election officials noted that law enforcement entering polling places is prohibited except in emergencies, raising concerns about voter intimidation.
- The incident reflects broader patterns of federal law enforcement targeting critics of Trump's immigration policies, including harsh sentences for related protests.
