The poll follows a month of heightened tension over immigration as protests against ICE broke out

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.

    welcome to the wolfman constant. always assume any polling data over ~65% is an overwhelming majority and that ~75% or more effectively indicates “everyone with a functioning brain”

    then think about that 95% of black women voted against this

        in any given population 15% will believe they’ve encountered a wolfman. i’ll try to find you the info, but basically it’s about how when sampling data for what a collective believes you’ll always find some absolute kooks
