Live from NPR News in Washington, I'm Dave Mattingly.
NPR has acquired an internal Department of Homeland Security email that raises
questions about the Trump administration's plans for the November midterm elections.
As NPR's Miles Parks reports, the email is heavily redacted
but contains a list of election jurisdictions that offer ballot materials in different languages.
The email shows an exchange among DHS personnel, including the department's point person, on rooting out voter fraud.
Attached to the email is a list of counties
and states that offer election materials and ballots in non-English languages.
It was shared alongside a Justice Department checklist outlining requirements for prosecution of voting crimes.
Nothing in the document alludes to enforcement activity at the locations mentioned.
And it's against federal law for armed federal agents to be at the polls.
But its release comes at a time when Democrats are worried about the Trump administration's plans.
Two different coalitions of civil rights groups have filed suit to stop DHS from deploying agents to the polls,
something that DHS Secretary Mark Wayne Mullen didn't rule out earlier this month.

The Trump administration is preventing the president of the Palestinian
Authority from traveling to New York to address next week's U.N.
General Assembly.
NPR's Michelle Kellerman says the administration is giving visas to Iranian leaders.
The State Department says the, quote, core delegation from the Iranian regime will be able to attend the U.N.
