Poll Shows Majority Support Deportation Goals but Disapprove of Enforcement Tactics

A Reuters Ipsos poll finds that 61% of Americans, including 92% of Republicans and 35% of Democrats, support deporting unauthorized immigrants, aligning with former President Trump's immigration goals. However, 60% of Americans, including majorities of Democrats and independents, disapprove of the hard-line tactics used by immigration agents, such as family separations and confrontations. Disapproval is notably higher among Black and Hispanic communities, groups where Trump's approval ratings have declined. These views may influence the upcoming November midterm elections.
