Amidst renewed scrutiny regarding the United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency (ICE) after increased activity under the second Trump administration, and the controversial shooting of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, polling shows that the majority of Americans have negative feelings towards ICE.
On January 7, 2026, the day that Good was shot dead by ICE officers, YouGov conducted a poll of nearly 2,700 Americans asking the question, "Do you approve or disapprove of how Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is handling its job?" The response was overwhelmingly negative.
