ICE’s approval rating among Americans currently sits at negative 13 points, a recent poll revealed.
More Americans support abolishing the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency than at any point since it was established in 2003, new polling shows.
According to data examined by Civiqs, 42% support getting rid of the agency while 50% oppose doing so, a split of just 8 points. This represents a major shift from a year ago, at the start of Donald Trump’s second term, when only 24% of Americans supported abolishing ICE and 59% opposed the idea, a 35-point split.
The 27-point change over the past year comes as Trump uses the agency to terrorize immigrant communities and overrun U.S. cities in the name of his mass deportation campaign, often using tactics that are not only harmful but illegal.
Good sign overall ahead of midterms this year. I’d much rather this than see more of the country cheering this on.
Register and vote Democrat.
Edit: Democratic Primaries are coming first, and IF you don’t know for a fact that your state has Open Primaries, then you must register Democrat in order to try to vote in more progressive Democratic candidates and vote out aipac trash from the party.
Edit 2: Whew, lots of wedge-driving bots from .ml and hexbear asserting classic false-equivalence whataboutism fallacies in order to sow defeatism and apathy.
The only one throwing around fallacies would be you
Democrats have contributed to the situation we are in.
Democrats are the only way to improve the situation we are in.
(Audience beware the lemmy.ml / hexbear poster who submits garbage like, “Republicans are honest fascists. Democrats are fascists in disguise.” lol.)
Then why have the material conditions for the working class gotten worse over the last 25 years when your Democrats have been in power for 13 of them? Democrats are covert fascists
You don’t understand how Congress works, do you?
It’s working exactly as designed. I know your next stage is to blame Republicans for obstruction, but why is it Republicans get everything they want regardless if they hold the majority and if they hold the minority? Yet Democrats are ineffective in both scenarios.
