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.

    That’s incorrect. They are absolutely banned in their respective countries. Do you need sources on this?

      You gonna provide Western sources for your claim, the same ones claiming they are illegal?

        Your English is poor. You aren’t winning social points for this unconvincing apologist rhetoric. Or is this punishment already for an infraction? Perhaps mentioning Uyghurs, Tibetans, Hong Kong, or Taiwan sovereignty?

        I wonder if one expects unbiased sources from within a totalitarian regime like North Korea or China going, “Yep! We totally oppress!” haha. So what sources DO you trust? I’m curious!

            Implying all Western sources are illegitimate is called a Fallacy of Origin.

            I’m simply calling a spade a spade. (this may not translate well for your translator).

            Anyways, tagged :)
