A recent poll conducted by the AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that approximately six in ten U.S. adults think President Donald Trump has gone too far in his immigration policies, particularly in deploying federal agents to cities. As Trump's immigration handling has seen a decline in approval ratings, about 40% express approval, a stark contrast reflecting rising discomfort among independents and some Republicans.

While Trump's base remains solidly supportive, there are increasing concerns, especially after violent incidents involving federal agents in cities like Minneapolis, leading to calls for a reevaluation of such tactics.

Many independents, around 60%, now believe the president's actions are excessive. The survey indicates a growing distrust towards the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency among Americans, correlating with a notable decrease in independent support for Trump’s approach to immigration enforcement.

Republicans, however, still largely support Trump, with a significant number believing his actions are either justified or not aggressive enough. This diverging sentiment highlights an emerging narrative in American politics surrounding immigration policy and the methods employed to enforce it.

The polling reveals a political landscape where Republicans' previous advantage on immigration issues is narrowing, suggesting a potential shift in voter sentiment ahead of upcoming elections.
