"New nationwide polling demonstrates a deep distrust of federal immigration agencies in the wake of their violent raid of Minnesota, with a majority of respondents indicating they would not want such agents coming to their own home states. An Economist/YouGov poll published on Tuesday also showed strong support for a de-escalation of immigration operations in the Twin Cities. The polling comes as agents have abducted and detained people (including children) with pending asylum cases,"
"According to the poll, only 21 percent of Americans believe more immigration agents should be sent to Minneapolis, while 13 percent believe the Trump administration should keep the same number of agents there. Meanwhile, 15 percent of Americans believe that numbers should be reduced, with another 37 percent saying all immigration agents in Minneapolis should be removed. Combined, a majority of Americans, 52 percent, believe the number of federal immigration agents in the city should either be reduced or cut completely."
