Poll reveals massive discontent with Trump and ICE raids: only 27% approve
A poll shows that only 27% approve of Trump for his handling of immigration and ICE actions, while public rejection and political tensions grow in the United States.
A recent national poll reveals a sharp decline in public support for President Donald Trump’s immigration policies, just as his administration intensifies ICE raids in various cities across the country. According to the NBC News poll, reported by Telemundo, only 27% of Americans approve of Trump’s approach to immigration and the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), a marked drop from previous figures and a clear indication of growing public dissatisfaction.
The discontent is not limited to just one sector of society, as 67% of those surveyed believe that ICE operations “have gone too far,” while only 23% support the tactics used to detain undocumented immigrants. These numbers reflect concerns not only along partisan lines, but also among the general public, regarding the use of force and the humanitarian consequences of these policies.
Poll reveals discontent with Trump over ICE
This situation coincides with the most tense moment surrounding immigration measures since Trump assumed his second term. In recent months, raids have intensified in several cities, generating protests and repercussions in public opinion, especially after reports of clashes between agents and civilians in places like Chicago and Minneapolis, which have fueled rejection of the presidential strategy.
Analysts point out that this disapproval could have far-reaching political effects in the lead-up to the midterm elections and on national perceptions of border security. Traditionally, immigration was one of the pillars that strengthened Trump’s electoral base; however, the decline in immigration figures and the perception that raids are out of control are diminishing his political momentum.
Beyond the 27% approval rating for his handling of immigration, experts highlight how the climate of polarization and the impact of ICE operations have sparked debates across the American political spectrum. The Trump administration maintains its defense of the raids as part of its border security promise, but the numbers suggest that much of the country is demanding a more balanced and human rights-respecting approach.
