“Hoax Image of Immigration Officers Arresting Voters Is Making Rounds on Social Media”

Electionland:

An image has begun circulating on Twitter that appears to show an immigration officer arresting someone in line to vote. The image is a hoax, as is the accompanying threatening language directed at Hispanic voters.

The image is a composite of two photographs readily found on the internet, and there has not been a single report of anyone being arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement while voting as far as we are aware.

This kind of stuff can deter voters, not who worry about being arrested, but who worry about being hassled at the polls.
