A new survey — conducted after President Donald Trump deployed National Guard and Marine troops to Los Angeles to quell protests against ramped-up immigration enforcement — reveals more Americans do not approve of either move.
The Reuters/Ipsos poll surveyed 1,136 American adults on Wednesday and Thursday of this week. And while it found broad support for increasing the pace of deportations for people not in the United States legally, when respondents were asked whether Trump has gone too far with recent efforts to carry out mass arrests of migrants in urban centers, 49 percent agreed that the recent arrests have gone too far, while 40 percent said they had not.
