Old photos of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are being used to spread false claims about arrests for voter fraud.
A Twitter user posted this photo on Election Day and claimed it shows an ICE officer arresting someone for trying to vote illegally. That's false.

Another false use of the image is this story from a fake news website.

The image has been online since at least 2015, and can be downloaded from Wikimedia Commons. No undocumented immigrants have been arrested today for trying to vote illegally.
