ICE Agents Confront Election Worker Over Social Media Post at Polling Place

Two ICE agents approached Syracuse-area election worker Paigelynne Gonyea at her polling place on June 27, 2026, demanding she delete an Instagram post about an ICE agent involved in a shooting. Federal officials said the post violated a doxxing law that prohibits publishing identifying information to harass someone. The confrontation at a polling place raises questions about federal authority over state election operations. No charges have been filed.
