"The Trump administration's immigration agenda has taken a sharper turn in 2026, as reports of ICE agents using increasingly aggressive tactics have become more frequent. Driving the news: Only 38% of Americans approve of Trump's immigration enforcement, down 49% from March, according to the AP-NORC poll, shortly after 37-year-old Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good was shot and killed by an ICE agent."
"Despite the administration's efforts to frame Good as a perpetrator, a Quinnipiac poll shows the killing was widely unpopular. Fifty-three percent say the shooting was not justified, compared with 35% who say it was justified and 12% who offered no opinion. More broadly, fifty-seven percent of voters disapprove of the way ICE is enforcing immigration laws, compared with who 40% approved - a figure largely unchanged from July."
About 4 in 10 Americans approve of President Trump's second-term performance, per a January AP-NORC poll. Approval of immigration enforcement is at 38%, a 49-point drop since March, following the shooting death of 37-year-old Minneapolis mother Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent. A Quinnipiac poll finds 53% say the shooting was not justified, 35% say it was justified, and 12% offered no opinion. Overall, 57% of voters disapprove of ICE enforcement while 40% approve. Forty-five percent say Trump has helped immigration or border security 'a lot' or 'a little.' The president has also taken aggressive foreign steps, including supporting a U.S. operation in Venezuela, and 56% of Americans believe he has "gone too far."
