Intimidation of California voters by Trump's immigration agents In recent weeks, federal agents of the United States Immigration Service (ICE) have been scattered throughout the Central District of California. The move raised fears in Latino communities and drew accusations of voter intimidation in a close race that could help determine control of the US House of Representatives. Based on that, an internal email obtained by Reuters shows that the plan to increase forces in California was announced to officers in early October. According to an American official who did not want to be named, this action was done at the behest of the White House.
