Also, election monitors were used in 2024, so this isn’t unprecedented

Election monitors are completely different from armed and masked agents waiting at the door looking for people who “don’t look like they belong.” I’m not sure if it was intentional when SCOTUS allowed racial profiling, but Hispanic voters especially will be hesitant to go to the polls if it means risking deportation regardless of citizenship
