AG James reminded New Yorkers that military troops and armed federal officers, including agents with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), are not allowed at polling places under state and federal law.

“I want New York voters to know the law is on their side. Armed federal agents are not allowed at polling places, and no one can use a badge, a weapon, or a threat to stop you from voting. Voting in New York is safe, and my office will make sure every eligible voter can cast their ballot and be heard.” – AG James
