Sixty-one percent now believe ICE operations are "too tough," up from 56 percent in November.

History

Historical Context

The Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965, proposed by Emanuel Celler and supported by Senator Ted Kennedy, abolished national origin quotas established in 1924, significantly increasing immigration from Asia and Latin America. By the 1990s, over 1 million immigrants arrived annually. Recent concerns over ICE tactics, highlighted by the shooting of Renee Good, reflect ongoing tensions in U.S. immigration enforcement and policy.
