A recent surge in disapproval of President Trump’s handling of immigration has left his administration reeling, with a majority of Americans expressing dissatisfaction with his aggressive and inhumane policies. According to a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted between July 16 and July 18, 56% of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump’s approach to immigration, a significant increase from 46% in March.
The findings are corroborated by a CNN/SSRS poll conducted between July 10 and July 13, which found that 58% of U.S. adults disapprove of Trump’s handling of immigration. The growing discontent with the President’s policies has been fueled by reports of deplorable conditions at immigration detention sites, as well as the increasingly brutal tactics employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents.
The ICE raids, which have become a hallmark of the Trump administration’s immigration policy, have been widely criticized for their aggressive nature. Agents have been known to ambush immigrants at their homes and workplaces, sparking fear and anxiety among communities across the country. The detention sites, meanwhile, have been plagued by allegations of overcrowding, poor sanitation, and inadequate access to basic necessities like food and water.
The backlash against Trump’s immigration policies has been swift and merciless, with many critics accusing the administration of prioritizing politics over people. By backing such inhumane and aggressive policies, Trump has managed to turn one of his strongest issues into a major vulnerability, leaving his administration scrambling to regain public trust.
