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.
Having a group you can join where you can kill almost any individual you want is incredibly alluring for some.
For example, employment with ICE helps incels greatly. If some woman has offended you, then you can anonymous tip ICE, bring some other ICE guys with you to wherever she is, and kill her. “Uhhhh, she pulled a gun on me! I was so scared I shot her 20 times in the chest!”
I am certain that a lot of people in the US wish they could have power over life and death like ICE does. If ICE (and similar organizations) are abolished, the power to kill people without any recourse will be weakened.
