President Donald Trump demanded Tuesday the Department of Homeland Security should “start talking about the murderers and other criminals” it deports, insisting that would change public opinion of ICE operations—as polls consistently show Americans widely disapprove of Trump’s anti-immigration crackdown.
Trump urged DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to “show the Numbers, Names, and Faces of the violent criminals” he said they deport, predicting on Truth Social it would lead Americans to “start supporting the Patriots of ICE, instead of the highly paid troublemakers, anarchists, and agitators!”
Trump made the comments as a string of recent polls found support for his anti-immigration push has declined in the wake of the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an ICE officer, with surveys also showing most Americans believe the shooting was unjustified.
