Democratic district attorneys in major cities around the country are promising to prosecute federal agents suspected of attempting to intimidate people at polls during the midterms.
A coalition of 10 district attorneys — including prosecutors in Philadelphia, Minneapolis, and Dallas — are vowing in an announcement expected Tuesday to investigate incidents of suspected voter intimidation by federal agents deployed at the behest of President Donald Trump.

The coalition also includes Minnesota’s Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty, who filed charges Monday against an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent for shooting a man during an immigration raid.

Their announcement, obtained in advance by POLITICO, comes after Trump declined to rule out sending the National Guard or ICE agents to polling places to deter what he has falsely portrayed as voter fraud.

Members of the coalition, which calls itself the Project for the Fight Against Federal Overreach, warned the Trump administration that any federal agents sent to polling places within their jurisdictions will be prosecuted.

In February, a Department of Homeland Security official said on a private call with election officials that immigration officers will not be stationed at polling places in November. The call did little at the time to assuage Democrats’ concerns.
