ICE探员已准备好应对选举日可能出现的动荡

据两名国土安全部官员透露：国土安全部的特工，包括移民与海关执法局和海关与边境保护局的特工们都已经被告知，如果在选举日当天或之后发生动乱，要随时准备保卫华盛顿和联邦所属财产。

ICE、CBP和联邦保护局是 "保护美国社区工作队（PACT） " 的一部分，于6月通过特朗普总统的行政命令成立，以应对 "无政府主义者和左翼极端分子"，这些人可能试图破坏纪念碑和联邦建筑。

此次任务对于该机构来说实属首次，以前他们只是负责定期在就职日为华盛顿和周边地区提供额外的安全保障，但从来没有在选举日介入平息动乱。官员们说，这一史无前例的举措是为了保护联邦财产被袭击的可能，因为今年出现过全国性抗议活动。

Department of Homeland Security agents, including those from Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, have been told to be ready to protect federal property in Washington if there is unrest on or after Election Day, two DHS officials told NBC News.

The agency is regularly tasked with providing additional security around the nation’s capital on inauguration days, but has never stepped in to quell unrest on Election Day. The unprecedented step is in response to nationwide protests and attacks on federal property seen this year, the officials said.

ICE, CBP, and the Federal Protective Service are part of the "Protecting American Communities Task Force," established in June through an executive order by President Trump in response to "anarchists and left-wing extremists" who he said sought to damage monuments and federal buildings.  source
