To deploy them to where votes are counted, to make sure only the "correct" votes are counted, for "election security," of course. If only GOP votes are allowed to be counted, only Republicans can be certified.

They have shown that they are loyal to Trump, not the country, not the Constitution, and they are recruiting as fast as they possibly can. What's to stop the administration from deploying them to polling stations, especially in areas likely to vote Democrat, to intimidate people into not voting?

The concern I wonder about, looking in from the outside, is that he's turned ICE into, essentially, an unaccountable, private army. The GOP has given them a larger budget than the entire military of many countries.

A reminder: he had time between January 6 and 20th, he knew charges were likely. He could have pardoned them four years ago, and saved them trials and jail time. He's doing it now for politics, not mercy.
