I saw a poll, one taken in June 2018 at the height of the media and left's anti-ICE hysterics, that said:

80% of Republicans support ICE
73% of independents support ICE
60% of Democrats support ICE

There is a reason why Chuck Schumer, the leader of the Senate Democrats and probably the face of the party nationally right now, hasn't jumped on-board the crazy train despite being from one of the bluest states in the country. It's an idea that is relegated to deep blue state/district Democrats and 2020 presidential wannabes (Warren; Kamala Harris) looking for brownie points with the base, and who'll undoubtedly distance from it in a national general election should they become the Democrat's presidential nominee. "Well, look, I didn't entirely mean that, I just mean we should, um, check ICE's priorities... yeah, that's it."

Personally, I see ICE as the left's version of 'abolish the IRS,' something the base supports but will never get majority support in Congress anytime in the foreseeable future.

That is called a "wedge issue".

If you play the game to win you drive that wedge deep into the belly of the beast!
