Fox News: 59% Of Voters Say ICE Is ‘Too Aggressive’

An overwhelming majority of Americans (59%) say the tactics used by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) are “too aggressive” — including significant portions of the president’s coalition.

From Fox News:

Twenty-nine percent of voters say ICE’s enforcement practices “almost always” reflect Trump’s pledge to focus on illegal immigrants with criminal records, 25% think that happens “most of the time,” 19% say “sometimes,” and 27% “not very often.”

More Republicans (45%) than Democrats (17%) and independents (15%) think ICE is “almost always” keeping the pledge.

At the same time, there is a backlash against the agency’s methods. Fifty-nine percent of voters characterize ICE as “too aggressive,” a 10-point increase since July 2025.

This sentiment is increasingly defined by a shift in the center: the perception of ICE as too aggressive is up 14 points among Whites without a college degree, 19 points among moderates, and 22 points among independents.

A similar shift is seen among right-leaning groups, including Trump voters (+9 more aggressive), Republican women (+14), and non-MAGA Republicans (+23).

The same poll found 44% of respondents approve of Trump’s overall job performance versus 56% who disapprove.
