However, views of ICE are evenly divided. About as many Americans view Immigration and Customs Enforcement favorably (44%) as unfavorably (47%).

Republicans and Democrats have diametrically opposing views of the immigration enforcement agency, and the differences are particularly stark between conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.

Nearly eight-in-ten conservative Republicans (77%) view ICE favorably, with 40% expressing a very favorable opinion. Among moderate and liberal Republicans, views are less positive (62% give ICE a favorable rating, including 29% who say they view it very favorably).

A large majority of liberal Democrats (82%) view ICE unfavorably, with 53% viewing the agency very unfavorably. Conservative and moderate Democrats feel less negatively about ICE (60% unfavorable, 35% very unfavorable).

38% view ICE positively
37% view ICE negatively
21% view it neutrally
4% didnt express a view

Notable: The share of Americans who view ICE negatively has risen by 11 points since April 2018.

Is there supposed to be a takeaway here other than "if one political party screams about something enough, people will eventually circle their wagons and form increasingly polarized opinions on the topic?"

What they actually should be. A department that enforces immigration laws. ICE has been doing shady things for years. Aside of the recent scandals with kids they've been known to break rights of people and theres tons of sexual abuse allegations from immigrants in ICE custody.

The article is explaining times of slavery and internment camps, dark periods of American History.

That should give you your answer.

Indefinite detention for parents & kids, separated from one another.

Courts ordering Trump administration to stop separating, give kids back. Having to use dna tests to try re-uniting families. Theyre not even going to be able to meet the courts deadline. The whole thing is a clusterf**** due to Trumps policy change and ICE as a result has been getting bad press.

That is, in itself, a good takeaway. It shows that people can be persuaded if you make a case for or against something. People who use current polling as an excuse to not take a stand on an issue are misguided.

Amen.
Remember how long it took for Obama to come out in favor of gay marriage? Hell, it took Joe Biden "slipping up" for it to happen. Joe Biden was ahead of Barack Obama on gay marriage.
We need leaders who will lead, and this is an excellent demonstration of why. Sometimes, when you attempt to change what is considered possible, it bloody works!

Nevermind that the seperation was going on before Trump, and was a result of a Supreme Court decision saying keeping the kids together with their parents was a human rights violation.

And before you jump on the "blame Obama" bandwagon, it was happening before him, too.

And before you jump on the "So it was the Republicans after all!" one, it was happening under Clinton as well.

Maybe even before that; but I don't know.

Which is something everyone forgets to mention. The separation was happening because you can't put kids in adult prisons.

"Zero tolerance" is a trump policy. Mass separation is the result of actually enforcing the laws on the books. There's a difference.

You must be confusing me with someone else. My stance on the immigration issue has ALWAYS been that if you take issue with what happens when the laws are enforced, then we should get congress to change them. Having government arbitrarily not enforce laws we don't like is the absolute dumbest way to run a government. I support Trump's shift to requiring the federal government actually enforce our laws, but I also support congress making new laws to change how things are going down, and I think we as a nation have collectively given up on the idea of using our government as it was designed which is causing way more problems than its fixing.

HOLD ON there, chief. You used the phrase "mass separation" first. Dark and I both used the phrase "the separation" because we were talking about what happens at the border to people arrested. What's happening to families isn't anything new because that's how the laws are structured. That is objectively true. You can argue that under Trump it's happening more often, but you CAN'T argue that the policy of separating kids from their parents is something new under Trump because that's objectively not true.

It was rare before Trump because it's cruel. Trump made it a boilerplate deterrent. People above me saying separation happened before Trump are clearly trying to say it was the exact same before Trump and that people are only outraged now.

Why should our solution to it be to arbitrarily ignore it when we have a perfectly functioning mechanism to legally CHANGE IT in the form of new laws? What's the justification? Would you support Trump's government picking any other laws they don't like and just ignoring them, too?
