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.
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.)
But the dem leadership response is now we care that things are affordable, why would we talk about ice
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?
Ehh the Democrats ounce In power will undoubtedly increase ice funding just make it less blatant so no they aren’t a solution.
Ehhh this is total bullshit speculation not even grounded in historical reality.
Give me the Biden days over these Trump days any day and spare me the false equivalence trope that is convenient for Republicans.
ICE saw their largest increase of federal funding under Biden. Democrats provide a gun to Republicans than try to act surprised when they use it
Would’ve happened regardless; the problem was a majority of Americans were convinced immigration was a problem. This was an attempt of appeasement of the masses ahead of the election.
I stand by what I said.
Except it’s exactly what Biden did in 2020 and what Harris promised to do if she won so very grounded.
Except it’s really not.
Anyone who thinks Renee Good would’ve been shot and killed under Biden or Harris administration are patently delusional and enabling Trumpian dogma.
Anyone want to play a game of identifying how many ICE murders there were between all of Obama and Biden administrations versus Trump?
Edit: Back, tankies! Back I say!
Your friendly reminder that these two images are banned in their respective leaders’ nations, and that by viewing them from your location puts you at risk for prison time in your country, should you reside there!
The only place those images are banned are in the minds of liberals that believe the propaganda that they are banned in their respective countries
That’s incorrect. They are absolutely banned in their respective countries. Do you need sources on this?
Ah the good ol’ “nothing would fundamentally change” days.
That should be the slogan of the Dems.
Ah but I mean one thing would fundamentally change.
Renee Good would still be alive and three children would still have their mother.
Register unaffiliated. Vote Democrat.
Especially if you’re in a red or Trump x 3 state.
Texas sent their voter registration list to DHS. We can all take wild guesses as to what they are going to do with it…but personally, I don’t want to be on a curated list of “political
targetsopponents”.I’m guessing their goals are twofold:
I understand your concern, though one should register as a Democrat at least temporarily unless you know your state has Open Primaries if you want to reform the Democratic party.
If you want to vote to get AIPAC and corporate Dems out in primaries and put better ones in, then you must register Dem for closed primaries.
Worth noting that all the information on your demographics and behaviors is already easily curated from what the state and corporations already have on us, unfortunately.
