"In the wake of the broad-daylight murder of Renee Good by a deputized federal officer in Minneapolis, there have been some increasingly loud cries to eliminate ICE, both from elected officials and from the public at large. From Forbes: The poll published January 13 from The Economist and YouGov found 46 percent of people support abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement, compared to 43 percent who are in opposition of the movement; 12 percent were unsure."
"When The Economist and YouGov asked the same question in 2019a year after the Abolish ICE movement beganAmericans showed an unfavorable opinion of the federal agency, but just 32 percent felt it should be eliminated. Support for abolishing ICE has been rising since Trump began his second term, according to Civiqs, which found 25 percent were in favor of getting rid of the agency before Trump's inauguration"
The broad-daylight killing of Renee Good by a deputized federal officer in Minneapolis intensified calls to eliminate Immigration and Customs Enforcement from both officials and the public. A January poll from The Economist and YouGov found 46 percent support abolishing ICE, 43 percent opposed, and 12 percent unsure, a sharp rise from 27 percent support in July and 32 percent in 2019. Civiqs reported support grew from 25 percent before President Trump's inauguration to 42 percent after Good's death. Proposals include disbanding the Department of Homeland Security and redistributing its functions across other federal law-enforcement agencies, framed as correcting post-9/11 institutional legacies and political uses of that era.
