➤➤ BREAKING: Trump’s false voting claims target cities and weaponize ICE

[link removed] [[link removed]]


President Trump is now actively targeting major Democratic-led cities — including Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York — with baseless claims that they’re allowing illegal immigrants to “cheat in elections.”

Now, he’s directing ICE to crack down on these cities, treating political speech as a crime. It’s a blatant attempt to punish communities that didn’t vote for him and to intimidate voters across the country.

Let’s get real: this is a political vendetta. Trump is turning federal agencies into instruments of partisan power.

Here’s what it means:

Democratic Secretaries of State are already working to protect absentee and mail-in voters, ensuring everyone — regardless of zip code — can participate in our democracy. But now, with ICE being leveraged as a political tool, those protections are under siege.

We refuse to sit back. DASS is building robust legal and organizing infrastructure to support election officials, fight misinformation, and push back on this authoritarian playbook. But it costs money, and time is running out.
