Poll: ICE Agency Gets 2:1 Public Support
by Neil Munro 6 Feb 2025
President Donald Trump’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency is favored by 53 percent of American voters — and 50 percent of Latinos — according to a poll for The Economist magazine.
But ICE is also strongly opposed by 19 percent of Americans, many of whom eagerly share and tout emotional videos of crying migrants at the nation’s borders. Twenty-seven percent of voters have a somewhat or strongly unfavorable view of ICE, says the poll, which was conducted February 2-4.
The poll numbers are important because they shape the agency’s ability to overcome opposition from Democratic legislators, elite-backed street protestors, city officials, business lobbies, and business-funded pro-migration advocacy groups.
The P R threat is well recognized by Tom Homan, President Donald Trump’s enforcement. “We need to control the narrative so we keep the trust of American people,” Homan told Breitbart News in November. “Sometimes you’ve got to slow roll it, but other times, I think, the shock of it will move people” to return to their home countries, he said. “It’s going to be well-planned, humane operations,” he said.
