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.

    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.
