What do people think about that ICE thing?
Talk about stealing defeat from the jaws of victory. All Voldemort had to do is take the win. He'd stablized our border and simply had to arrest illegals who commited violent/property crimes. But he engaged in what we at the Report like to call "overeach". By the way that's a copywrited term. Capeche?
Americans’ Views of ICE Grow More Negative
ByAndy Cerda, Pew Research
Oct 26.2026
A majority of Americans (56%) now say they have an unfavorable opinion of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the federal agency at the center of many of the Trump administration’s increased deportation efforts. A considerably smaller share – 35% – view the agency favorably, while 9% say they are not sure.
ICE is the least favorably viewed of the 12 federal agencies and departments asked about in a Pew Research Center survey of 5,062 adults conducted from Sept. 28 to Oct. 4.
Republicans’ ratings of ICE are far more positive than those of Democrats. But in both partisan groups, views of the agency have grown more negative over the last year:
Two-thirds of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents currently view ICE favorably, down from 72% a year ago.
An overwhelming majority of Democrats and Democratic leaners now have an unfavorable opinion of ICE (84%), up from 78% last year.
Views of ICE by race and ethnicity
Majorities of Black (69%), Hispanic (67%) and Asian adults (66%) have a negative opinion of ICE. In each group, views are substantially more negative than they were a year ago.
White adults are less likely than other racial and ethnic groups to view the agency negatively, though more now express a negative opinion than a positive one.
Nearly half of White adults (49%) have an unfavorable view of ICE, up from 45% in 2025. About four-in-ten (42%) have a positive opinion, down from 48% a year ago.
Views of ICE by party, race and ethnicity
Among Republicans
White Republicans (71%) are much more likely than Hispanic Republicans to view ICE favorably (53%).
Across racial and ethnic groups, large majorities of Democrats view ICE unfavorably. However, White Democrats’ views are particularly negative.
Roughly nine-in-ten White Democrats (89%) express a negative opinion, compared with smaller majorities of Asian (82%), Hispanic (79%) and Black Democrats (75%).
