Missoula, MT, October 23, 2026 —
Investigations found two incidents involving Border Patrol agents near polling locations in Florida: one at an early voting site in Leon County and another adjacent to a polling location in Key Largo.
In Leon County, agents were spotted near an early voting site while attempting to vote before leaving for an out-of-state assignment. The findings describe the agents’ purpose for being there as voting. They do not provide the date of the incident, the number of agents involved or details about the assignment.
The other incident involved agents conducting an immigration enforcement stop next to a polling location in Key Largo. The available information does not specify when the stop occurred, who was involved, or whether the people approached were voters. It also does not state whether voting was affected.
The incidents are distinct in the information provided: the Leon County account concerns agents attempting to vote, while the Key Largo account concerns an enforcement stop near a polling place. No connection between the two events is described.
The findings do not identify the investigations or provide information about their methods, the agencies or officials who conducted them, or any response from Border Patrol. They also do not say whether either incident resulted in a complaint, review, or other action. Without those details, the circumstances and any subsequent developments remain unclear.
The available account establishes the locations and basic nature of the two incidents, but leaves key details—including dates and outcomes—unspecified.
