More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.

While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.

Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

      More than 17% Those are just the ones who’ll admit to it.

      All those Dems clutching their pearls over “Defund ICE” posters are very happy to see Hispanics ethnically cleansed.

    Stop complaining about it and start lining them up for curb stomping wherever you see them, you know, as a community.

    Also, fuck your violence rules bullshit - nazis aren’t people, I’m basically suggesting we curb stomp a cancerous growth.

    And before some of you geniuses start claiming I’m the same as them - first, go fuck yourself. Second, I hate them based on their world view - a malleable thing they are in control of. Not their race, not their hair color, not their parents country of origin.

    Nazi lives do not matter, kill em when you can if you can get away with it.

        More than just grift… this is the new militant wing of MAGA. They’re a new branch of armed forces that operate entirely on our soil. We’ve got concentration camps opening, we’ve got a MASSIVELY funded brown-shirts, and dark tech civilian-profiling AI behind all that… This is pretty much my worst fears from last November coming to life.

          I hope it turns out to be just a big embezzlement scheme like everything in the US.

          It is a little bizarre those that were screaming about Obama’s death camps are now cheering on Trump’s Alligator Alcatraz. Truly propaganda, misinformation, public relations, etc. should be tightly regulated or just outright banned in order to have a functional society.

    The problem is that last one:

    The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

    How far can “violent” and “conviction” be stretched in order to justify wrongful deportations?

      When you are talking about a survey, the “how far” is specific to each person. So it is a bad question. But no matter how Donny interprets it, the answer to the “have they gone too far” tells you Donnys interpretation is too far for the majority.

      Well, peaceful protests are considered violent. Disagreeing with Trump is considered a mental illness. And supporting Palestine is considered anti-American. Sooo, basically we’re all targets.

      It seems to me that they can be stretched just shy of infinitely, because sources aren’t reliable and people aren’t paying attention. That is, when a source reports on what’s happening with as little bias and editorializing as humanly possible, it is labeled as “left bias” while the conservative news sources don’t bother talking about the problems with ICE at all. As long as that’s the case, they can basically get away with anything because their human rights abuses won’t get enough coverage or will be dismissed by enough of the population that it won’t actually have an impact.

    Nothing has been done. This escalated every month and will only continue.

    They also got this massive budget thanks to the bill that just got passed.

    America got exactly what they voted for. Dear Leader promised mass arrests, deportations, and incarceration.

    Doesn’t matter what the polls say, they and Donny could have -100% support and they would still arrest your ass because of a meme you posted or what ethnicity your great great great grandfather was.

    The nearly Half of Republicans who AGREED with ICES Actions are the ones whose Spouses and Children have ALSO been Deported and Jailed! Because NOTHING is More Important to a Republican then NOT having to call a 3 Year He or She!
