Public opinion shifts on ICE as advocates warn of US ‘inflection point’
AI Summary
Following the killing of a US citizen by an ICE agent in Minnesota, advocates are urging Congress to curtail the agency's power. They cite growing public disapproval of President Trump's immigration policies as an opportunity for reform. Experts point to increased grassroots activism and public awareness of ICE's actions as driving this shift. Despite this momentum, observers acknowledge the challenge of changing course, given the significant funding boost ICE received through Trump's tax bill. The bill allocated $75 billion to ICE over four years, earmarked for expanding detention capacity and enforcement operations, in addition to the agency's existing annual budget.
