Missouri Republicans using ICE in latest effort to preserve gerrymandered maps

As the effort to petition against Missouri’s new gerrymandered map ramps up, the latest Republican attempt to preserve the new map saw Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) get Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) involved.

In two X posts from last week, Hanaway announced an investigation into Advanced Micro Targeting (AMT), a firm working with People Not Politicians to collect signatures against the gerrymandered maps. Hanaway claimed without evidence that AMT is employing “illegal aliens,” and that she has referred the matter to ICE.

People Not Politician’s executive director Richard von Glahn accused the Hanaway of intimidation.

“What the attorney general did, seemingly siccing ICE on people exercising their First Amendment rights, isn’t about the law; it is about political intimidation and thuggery,” von Glahn said.
