DENVER — Latino advocacy groups have sued to prevent ICE agents from operating at Denver polling places and ballot drop boxes, arguing the federal presence could intimidate voters ahead of the November election. The lawsuit, reported by The Colorado Sun, comes as local election officials express concern that immigration enforcement at voting sites may suppress turnout, particularly among immigrant and Latino communities. Denver officials have warned that such a presence could create an atmosphere of fear that undermines the voting process. The legal filing names local and state election authorities as defendants, though ICE has not publicly commented on the pending litigation. A court hearing is expected later this week.
