Conservative podcaster Steve Bannon called for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to “surround the polls” for the midterm elections, strong words that roiled the waters of the Democrat fever swamp.
By now, it should be abundantly clear that the Democrats are relying on their illegal alien pets in key cities to swing the pivotal elections in their favor, putting the party back in control of the House, where members have been salivating over impeaching President Donald J. Trump and other top officials for months.
The former White House strategist understands that the party is unlikely to win legitimately, and on a recent episode of his “War Room” podcast, he suggested that the best defense against Democrat cheating is a strong offense, led by ICE boots on the ground at polling stations.

“You’re damn right, we’re gonna have ICE surround the polls come November,” he said. “We’re not gonna sit here and allow you to steal the country again.”
“And you can whine and cry and throw your toys out of the pram all you want, but we will never again allow an election to be stolen,” the conservative firebrand added.
And oh, how they whined and cried on X as leftists melted down over the idea that the usual Democrat election stealing could be put in check.

Here’s Steve Bannon, who pleaded guilty to defrauding donors over border wall construction, saying that ICE will be deployed at the polls in November to suppress turnout.

THEY’RE PLANNING ON STEALING THE ELECTION
Steve Bannon: “ICE is going to be around the polls in the 2026 midterm elections.”
Our best defense is overwhelming turnout. Win by margins too big to deny.
Meanwhile, Democrats in Congress must demand ICE stay clear of polling places,… pic.twitter.com/n2PLxy0mUE

Bannon’s remarks come amid a raging firestorm after Trump suggested that the federal government should become more involved in overseeing elections, something that could throw a wrench into the gears of the Democrat cheating machine.
“I want to see elections be honest, and if a state can’t run an election, I think the people behind me should do something about it,” the president said on Tuesday, referring to Republican lawmakers who joined him in the Oval Office for a bill signing to fund most of the federal government.

“Because if you know if you think about it, a state is an agent for the federal government in elections,” he continued. “I don’t know why the federal government doesn’t do them anyway.”
Describing the process in some states as “rigged, crooked elections,” Trump added, “Take a look at Detroit, take a look at Philadelphia, you go take a look at Atlanta, look at some of the places with horrible corruption on elections, and the federal government should not allow that.”
Election lawfare specialist Marc Elias reacted to Bannon’s call for preventative measures against election theft by encouraging congressional Democrats to put the screws to Republicans on DHS funding, which was unwisely split out from a larger package to prevent a government shutdown.
I hope every Democratic member of the House and Senate reads this and factors it into whatever funding bill gets agreed to. We have seen what ICE can do to U.S. Citizens in the streets, imagine what they will do at the polls. https://t.co/dYlasxUkEh
