Most voters across the sanctuary states of California, New Jersey, and New York City say they want their state governments to continue not cooperating with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the agency tasked with arresting and deporting illegal aliens.
On Tuesday, voters in California, New Jersey, and New York City told NBC News exit pollsters that they like their state government’s sanctuary state policies that prevent local jails, sheriffs departments, and local police from cooperating with ICE agents.
NBC News reports:
Still, many voters are divided over how their states’ governments should cooperate with the federal government on immigration. In New Jersey, voters were likelier to say the next governor should not cooperate with Trump — though those views were divided by candidate preference.
In New York City, 61% said the next mayor should not cooperate with Trump on immigration enforcement.
In California, 59% said Gov. Gavin Newsom, the Democrat leading the Proposition 50 fight, should not cooperate with the Trump administration on immigration enforcement.
