They voted to fund every DHS agency except Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Thankfully, ICE can keep going on funds from the One Big Beautiful Bill Act to deport people in the country illegally. But across the country, states controlled by Democrats continue to pass unpopular legislation to prevent immigration law enforcement.

- The poll also indicated that 63% of voters believe state and local law enforcement should check the immigration status of arrested individuals and share it with ICE.
