More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.

While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.

Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

    They don’t control the DNC anymore

    This seems more aspirational than based in reality. There are some fringes that have escaped their clutches, but establishment Democrats are still entrenched in the system.

    Shit looks bad for everyone right now, including the wealthy.

    You’re not thinking wealthy enough. The system works perfectly for anyone who can afford to donate $1m for a pardon or $5m for citizenship.

    Which is why the media is pushing people to disengage from politics.

    Money is definitely afraid of passion, because it can’t be bought.

    Don’t do what billionaires want you to do, it’s never in your favor.

    10/10. No notes.
