Support for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has surged among Republicans, according to a new poll from *The Economist* and YouGov.
In early January, 15 percent of Republicans were in support of abolishing ICE. Now, that number has jumped to 19 percent.
Calls for the abolition of ICE have risen as clashes between immigration officers and the public continue, and backlash against ICE grows.
I know the sentiment here is going to be „this is what they voted for“ or „too little, too late“ but I’m ready to chip off any support we can at this point, no matter how small. We need everything we can get.

Abolish ICE

Impeach Noem and any other persons leading this Gestapo

Defunding or abolishing ICE is not going to solve the problem. The problem is Stephen Miller. My guess is he will use another department of Law Enforcement to do the same thing as ICE. His priority is to intimidate anyone who dares to challenge his vile policies.

Surges???
Sure its technically correct but when something “surges” to 19 % (edit) why bother
RepubliKKKans are spineless, heartless, cucked Aholes, who will do whatever daddy Trump tells them & “think” whatever FauxNew spews

From 15% to 19% is hardly a surge.

You can’t trust this group to remain consistent. A lot of them had a similar negative reaction to Jan 6 but then were brainwashed into thinking morons like Ashlee Bobbit were actually innocent.

My 80 year old Republican neighbor HATES Trump. Calls ICE the Gestapo. He’s set the standard for what I expect from Republicans.

They always let things go way too far then backpedal. Their problem is lack of responsibility from the beginning, thinking handing such power and authority to mostly adolescent cosplay soldiers with no real training, oversight and lacking morals and ethics was ok.

The Trump regime is using lies and propaganda to control the media and obscure the truth for their tyrannical agenda. Defund, charge, convict and then abolish ICE, convict and remove Trump, convict and remove Noem and all of their adjacent corrupt loyalists, and release the Epstein Files. This is not politics as normal. This is domestic terrorism at the hands of our government.

I will believe it when I see it. Talk is cheap. That being said, if they actually take action, good. We’ll take all the good action we can get.

Bullshit headline. Republican support for abolishing ICE “surged” from 15% to 19%. That’s margin-of-error territory, and points to an absolute crisis of amorality among Republican voters. Murder is apparently an acceptable feature of politics for them. It’s certainly not a dealbreaker.

Let’s hope. One thing Pretti’s murder showed the world is how untrained and malicious these masked goons are. Over and over, people keep saying “this is not law enforcement”. And professional LEO around the world saw that video and now they know it too. They looked like they didn’t even know basic weapons safety, aside from the bloodlust.

Yes, abolish ICE.
But we need to go further — everyone who ordered, carried out, participated in, enabled, or was otherwise involved in the unconstitutional searches, seizures, kidnappings, and murders, must be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, and imprisoned accordingly.
Everyone. Every ICE “agent” involved, every Trump administration official, *everyone*.
A message needs to be sent, and it needs to be sent *hard*. ICE is a terrorist organization. The regime it serves is a terrorist organization. It needs to fucking end. *Now*.

Probably business owners that are finding out their business is dead in the water because their employees are not showing up.
I’d it wouldn’t directly affect them they would have been all for it.

It went from 15 to 19% on a poll. They do not say what the margin of error is. Saved you a click.

19%. 81% support ICE murdering Americans in the streets

Being a conservative has to be exhausting, constantly having to keep up with who the next enemy is. In the 60s it was black people, in the 70s it was women, in the 90s it was gay people, in the 2000s it was Muslims, the past decade it was trans people, and now it’s immigrants. Don’t they get tired of being a hate group?

ICE is not a law enforcement agency. Stop pretending that it is.

For anyone doubting my 3 time maga mother has even criticized ice. And that was before they started shooting people in the street. I don’t think it’s most but it’s not 0

“Surges” is about the most dishonest word they could’ve chosen for this headline.

The figure has gone from 15% in January to 19%. Almost 1 in 5 Republicans are against ICE.
That’s still somewhat disgustingly low.
