ICE At The Polls Threatens Us All

To Urban Radio, here is a topic that is relevant to all your locals who listen:

You might think ICE isn’t a threat to you—but voter intimidation anywhere affects everyone.

64% of voters think Trump may attempt to use ICE to interfere with the election.
56% of voters support explicitly blocking ICE from polling locations.

When immigrant families, neighbors, and friends feel unsafe, turnout drops—and election results no longer reflect all communities. Historically, tactics targeting one group eventually touch all of us.

For Black, Indigenous, and other marginalized voters, this is not theoretical. Fear and intimidation silence voices that must be heard.

We’re also hosting our Policy Corner: ‘Democracy On Ice — Immigration Enforcement, Racial Terror, and the Vote’ today at 6:30 PM ET, where we unpack how immigration enforcement and policing systems—rooted in histories from the Fugitive Slave Act to modern enforcement regimes—shape today’s policies, threaten civil liberties, and impact our elections.

If we stay silent, democracy erodes quietly, one discouraged voter at a time.

In solidarity,

Black Voters Matter
