    67% WANT LOCAL OFFICIALS TO COOPERATE WITH FEDERAL AUTHORITIES TO DEPORT CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

    2/3rds of this country are absolutely just fucking assholes.

      The word “criminal” is doing a lot of heavy lifting there. I would expect local law enforcement to arrest criminals. I would then expect them to be deported. It doesn’t mean people want local police to help ICE with their terrorist bullshit.

      DEPORT CRIMINAL ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS

      If they could stick with that, then it’d be a good*-sounding* idea – who doesn’t want to deport criminals who immigrated from somewhere else to be violent?

      Sadly they’re as incompetent as they are violent, and they can’t even deliver on that since they don’t even know the how of due process; or the why. It’s a “best I can do is gestapo” kind of situation. And for that, they need a Nuremberg. And lots of rope.

          Huh. I see that now. I live in the SF Bay Area and it’s kind of a bubble here but some of those poll numbers are hard to believe. I’d be curious to know how their polling was conducted, I didn’t see any info on that. Maybe the rest of the country really is that fucked up, idk.

            The January Harvard CAPS / Harris poll survey was conducted online within the United States on January 28-29, 2026, among 2,000 registered voters by The Harris Poll and HarrisX.

            That’s the only bit on methodology I saw in there, which isn’t much at all.
