More than half of Americans - and 83% of Democrats - say ICE has gone ‘too far' in arresting migrants: poll
More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone 'too far' in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll. While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83 percent, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist. Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE's actions are appropriate and an additional 31 percent said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing President Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. The vast majority of Americans (80 percent) support the U.S. government's deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime. Half of those currently in ICE custody have not been convicted or charged with any crime, ICE data shows. In fact, ICE is arresting more non-criminals than ever before, according to the latest data. Americans also overwhelmingly agree (82 percent) that a U.S. president should obey federal court rulings, even if the president does not like the ruling. On how Trump is handling immigration as a whole, 43 percent of residents approve, while 52 percent disapprove. The poll follows a month of heightened tension over immigration as protests ignited in Los Angeles against ICE, and Trump called in the National Guard. On Tuesday, the president toured a new Florida immigration detention center dubbed 'Alligator Alcatraz' as the administration plows ahead with its agenda. A similar poll last week found that more Americans (64 percent) favor providing undocumented migrants a pathway to legal status over deportation, while 31 percent said they preferred deportation. Respondents in the Quinnipiac University poll of registered voters were asked for their preference out of the two options 'if [they] had to choose.' Six months ago, the same poll found that 55 percent favored providing undocumented migrants with a pathway to legal status in the U.S. The poll found that 56 percent of voters disapprove of how ICE is doing its job, while 39 percent said they approve. The vast majority of Democrats disapprove (89 percent) while Republicans largely approve (77 percent).

President Donald Trump has threatened to arrest a man who is the favorite to be New York City's next mayor and strip him of his US citizenship. Zohran Mamdani, 33, a democratic socialist, hours after officially winning the Democratic primary for mayor on Tuesday, defied Trump after amid a series of warnings from the Republican president. 'The President of the United States just threatened to have me arrested, stripped of my citizenship, put in a detention camp and deported,' wrote Mamdani on Instagram. 'Not because I have broken any law but because I will refuse to let ICE terrorize our city.' Got a story?

Trump pokes fun at Marjorie Taylor Greene's boyfriend saying the MAGA firebrand is not 'easy' to date
President Donald Trump poked fun at Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene to her boyfriend on Tuesday, questioning whether it's easy to date the firebrand Republican. While on a tour of 'Alligator Alcatraz,' a new Florida migrant detention facility boasting a moat full of dangerous reptiles, the president crossed paths with Real America's Voice reporter Brian Glenn. Walking with Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the president introduced the pair to Glenn. 'Hi Brian,' Trump greets the reporter. 'This is the boyfriend, very lucky, of Marjorie Taylor Greene,' the president told Noem and DeSantis. 'Do you think it's easy being with Marjorie?' Trump asked DeSantis with a smile. The governor immediately began cracking up with laughter before the crew kept on with their tour. Noem responded by noting a video of MTG doing a crossfit workout with her daughter. 'She was working out pretty hard this weekend,' she told Glenn before following the president into another room. 'Marjorie is incredibly tough and never backs down when it comes to fighting for her district and her country,' Glenn said in a statement provided to the Daily Mail. 'She's also the sweetest person I know, and she loves this country and President Trump with all her heart.' Glenn and Greene have been reportedly dating since late 2022. On X, however, Glenn posted a different message in response to the playful presidential inquiry. 'I'm not going to answer that…kidding!!' he wrote in response to Trump's question about how 'easy' it is to date the congresswoman, adding she 'is a joy to be with.' Glenn, 55, is among a growing list of right-wing pundits who have gained increased access to the White House during Trump's second term. He frequently reports from the White House grounds and, as evidenced by Tuesday's teasing, travels to cover Trump while the president is on the road. The joke at MTG's expense comes as the Republican has loudly pushed back on portions of the president's marquee legislative plan dubbed the 'Big, Beautiful Bill.' Greene specifically took issue with an AI provision that would hamper states from regulating the nascent technology over the next decade. 'I am adamantly opposed to this, and it is a violation of state rights,' she said of the AI provision. The language was eventually struck from Trump's mega-bill by Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., which passed the Senate on Tuesday. Still on Tuesday, Greene unfurled an ominous prediction about the House's ability to swiftly pass the Senate version of the Big Beautiful Bill. 'There's no way that [Speaker] Johnson has the votes in the House for this,' Greene told Steve Bannon. 'I think it's far from over.'
