More than half of Americans believe that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has gone “too far” in its pursuit of arresting migrants, according to a new poll.

While 54 percent said ICE has used its power too aggressively, the sentiment was even greater among Democrats at 83%, according to a poll by PBS News, NP and Marist.

Nearly half of Republicans, by contrast, said ICE’s actions are appropriate and an additional 31% said the agency had not gone far enough in enforcing Donald Trump’s mass deportation agenda.

The vast majority of Americans (80%) support the U.S. government’s deportation of migrants without permanent legal status who have been convicted of a violent crime.

    Just look at the reaction to the NYC mayor race

    Where?

    The only thing I’ve seen is Martin told some donors that progressives can’t win every district…

    Which, is obviously true

    The example he used was Minnesota where one district wants Illhan Omar and another wants some shitty moderate.

    But Martin is going to run national DNC like Minnesota.

    1. Stay out of the primary

    2. Support anyone with a D in the general

    It’s on voters to get progressives to the general, so vote in the primary and get as many people as you can to do so as well

      Oh I can find quite a few

      When the states governor and the top members of the Democratic Party in congress are refusing to endorse the democratic primary winner, they are the DNC. This is Bernie all over again.

        What do they have to do with the DNC?

        Like, you understand there’s the DNC, and then every state has their own state party, then I’m pretty sure the terrorities have them too

        If your point is some people with Ds by their name are pieces of shit and need to be replaced, you’re preaching to the choir director buddy.

        But Martin is the DNC chair, and he hasn’t said a single bad thing about Mamdani that I’m aware of.

          He"s using synecdoche, saying “DNC” when he means “the majority of prominent Democrats.” You’re speaking specifically about the actual DNC. That’s why you’re disagreeing even though you’re both right.
