Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist during the first Trump administration, has suggested that ICE agent deployments to U.S. airports could be a "test run" for the 2026 midterms. He suggested that the deployment could be used as a tool to perfect ICE's involvement in the midterms, according to guest Mike Davis on his “War Room” podcast. Davis also suggested that immigration agents should be stationed at polling locations, stating that if you're an illegal alien, you can't vote.
