Plurality favours disbanding ICE (45%).

The next day, another federal agency will need to continue enforcing customs and immigration law. There will not be some massive pool of interested and available non-ICE people to do the job.

Meaningful reform is going to involve reversing a massive shift in mentality and attitude in a portion of America’s federal law enforcement. That’s not a matter of just shutting down an agency whose core functions still have to be carried out.

Plurality favours disbanding ICE (45%).

"Nearly 8 in 10 respondents to the survey who are registered Democrats support abolishing ICE, with 47 percent of independents and 14 percent of Republicans in favor of shuttering the agency."
