\n WASHINGTON \u2014 US President Donald Trump\u2019s top homeland security official said on Sunday that his department does not have the authority to send law enforcement to polling sites during the November election despite Trump\u2019s suggestion that federal officers could be deployed to guard against election fraud.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s not what we do at the Department of Homeland Security,\u201d Acting Secretary Chad Wolf said on CNN\u2019S \u201cState of the Union.\u201d \u201cWe have express authorities authorized by Congress and this is not one of them,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Trump has said repeatedly and without evidence that a shift to universal mail-in voting \u2014 something most states have not proposed doing \u2014 will lead to fraud in the Nov. 3 election. The Republican president is running against Democratic challenger Joe Biden, who currently holds a substantial lead in public opinion polls.<\/p>\n

Trump told Fox News<\/a> on Thursday that law enforcement, including sheriffs and US attorneys, would be deployed to polling stations around the country to stop fraud.<\/p>\n

Civil liberties groups said sending police to polling sites could be viewed as voter intimidation, which is prohibited under federal and state laws. Several states bar police presence at polling sites, according to New York University\u2019s Brennan Center for Justice, a non-partisan public policy institute.<\/p>\n

Law enforcement personnel with the Department of Homeland Security were deployed to Portland, Oregon, in July to respond to protests against racial injustice. This caused tensions with state and local officials but Wolf defended the move.<\/p>\n

Wolf also said on Sunday that he had seen no evidence that countries such as Russia and China were planning to forge mail-in ballots to influence the US election, another Trump claim.<\/p>\n

Wolf said the department was focused on cybersecurity threats, such as campaigns by other nations to spread false information online.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
