Anti-ICE Agitators and 'Legal Observers' Losing Strong Majority of Public Support: New Poll
Western Journal ^ | Jason Hopkins

Posted on 02/01/2026 2:57:44 PM PST by nickcarraway

Newly released polling indicates that a clear majority of Americans are supportive of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and believe they should be left unobstructed.

Some 57 percent of Americans believe that ICE agents “should be able to do their job without being impeded or harassed,” according to polling conducted by Plymouth Union Public Research. The survey, which gauged public sentiment on President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement agenda and the conduct of deportation officers, found that most Americans generally want to see illegal immigration addressed.

“Voters broadly see illegal immigration as a serious issue that President Trump is properly addressing,” the survey said. “There is clear openness for enforcement measures and general approval of the current approach, especially efforts to disrupt cartels and hold foreign actors accountable.”

“Support extends to ICE officers enforcing these policies. Voters emphasize respect for their service and the need to let them do their jobs,” the survey’s findings added. “By contrast, organized efforts to obstruct enforcement draw limited sympathy and appear confined to a small but vocal slice of the electorate.”

Respondents strongly believed border enforcement to be a priority, with 74 percent of those surveyed stating that fighting illegal immigration is “an important issue” for both President Donald Trump and Congress to fix, according to the survey. Only 7 percent of respondents declared the issue “not important at all.”

The survey further found that 58percent of Americans believe ICE agents put their lives on the line to keep the public safe and 57 percent believe ICE agents have the “dangerous job of keeping us safe from violent criminals.” A slim majority, 51 percent, also approve of using ICE agents to combat illegal immigration.

“Overall, the center of public opinion favors the America First message of fighting illegal immigration and supporting ICE agents protecting our communities,”

To paraphrase Dean Wormer:

And you are now all available for immediate service as human shields between ICE and anti-ICE rioters.

A loud mouth minority gets the cameras attention, ESPECIALLY when a Republican is president and a bunch of libtards are protesting some perceived (i.e. made up) outrage/injustice.

Now suddenly, whack jobs that provoke getting shot, like Renee Good, are made out as innocent victims is some struggle for justice, bla bla bla.

I hope the people can see through the crap medias agenda.

You have highly bias crap media.

And you have a highly bias and 42% factually erroneous social media where the majority get their news from.

God help us.

that ICE agents “should be able to do their job without being impeded or harassed,”

What will they think of next? Maybe city mayors and councils and state governors obeying the federal laws and cooperating with agents who have warrants? Imagine.

This also shows why the looney left has to try to get “people of color” and “children” into the protest injuries. The general public is against them, and they need SOMETHING to turn the tide.

Maybe people can tell who they really are by the hate coming from their mouths. No parent would want their child anywhere near such people. (except a commie)

The ICE haters and killers and the Antifa Rioters better have FOX News do a poll for them. This isn’t good.

This poll was conducted on January 16-18 2026. This was after Renee Good was killed on January 7, but before Alex Pretti was killed on January 24.

... and immediately following that GIF was the original quote, which you modified for this post.

Dean Wormer: You're out! Finished at Faber! Expelled! I want you off this campus at 9:00 Monday morning! And I'm sure you'll be happy to know that I have notified your local draft boards and told them that you are now all, ALL eligible for military service.
