Some law schools and law students have been doing their part to push back against ICE. The University of Maine\u2019s law school dean spread info on an anti-ICE hotline to the community<\/a> and students at Georgetown and George Washington tried their best <\/a>to keep ICE from attending their virtual job fair. But it can be hard to tell if these students are just members of a vocal minority when it comes to resisting ICE or part of a larger trend. Thankfully, a recent Marquette University Law School national survey has some results that should answer that question. From Fox<\/a>: <\/p>\n

\n

A new Marquette University Law School poll found 60% of adults nationwide disapprove of the way U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, known as ICE, is handling its job.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The poll was conducted after the shooting in Minneapolis of Renee Good. Most interviews were completed before the shooting of Alex Pretti on Jan. 24, 2026.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Over half! Hard data really does make the go-to \u201cthe silent majority approves of this because some mandate given to us back in 2024\u201d argument less credible.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a strong divide on party lines \u2014 a whopping 80% of Republicans approve of what ICE is doing according to the poll \u2014 but things may change as the operation scales up. The party has done a phenomenal job of practicing cognitive dissonance whenever facts confront their world view, but public attacks against the Second Amendment so ICE can \u201cdo the jobs\u201d they lack jurisdiction to do has been a hard selling point for many.<\/p>\n

What this dude says right here should scare the shit out of everyone. \u201cThis started as a pretext about immigration and fraud,\u201d and now ICE is gunning for our 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th amendment rights.

And if gun ownership isn\u2019t your line in the sand, maybe the forecast of ICE being used to do widespread voter intimidation is:<\/p>\n

ICE being used to intimidate voters and contaminate voting ballots and sites?<\/p>\n

The Trump admin has become the tyrannical government our founding fathers warned about. Thankfully they gave us the tools to resist.<\/p>\n
