"Some law schools and law students have been doing their part to push back against ICE. The University of Maine's law school dean spread info on an anti-ICE hotline to the community and students at Georgetown and George Washington tried their best to keep ICE from attending their virtual job fair. But it can be hard to tell if these students are just members of a vocal minority when it comes to resisting ICE or part of a larger trend."
"Over half! Hard data really does make the go-to "the silent majority approves of this because some mandate given to us back in 2024" argument less credible. There's a strong divide on party lines - a whopping 80% of Republicans approve of what ICE is doing according to the poll - but things may change as the operation scales up."
Law schools and students have taken visible actions to resist ICE, including a University of Maine dean sharing an anti-ICE hotline and Georgetown and George Washington students trying to block ICE from a virtual job fair. A Marquette University Law School poll found 60% of adults nationwide disapprove of ICE's handling, with many interviews occurring around recent high-profile shootings. The poll reveals a stark partisan split, with 80% of Republicans approving ICE's actions. Rising concerns include potential ICE overreach into constitutional rights and the prospect of voter intimidation as operations expand.
