Minnesota speaks: ICE OUT

 

Headline and poll results:  Minnesota Star Tribune, 2/11/2026

Walker Orenstein reports:

New polling shows Minnesotans and people across the country widely disapprove of President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown in the state, a shift that’s turned his deportation campaign from a political strength into a potential liability ahead of the midterm elections. 

Negative marks on Operation Metro Surge from independents and suburban voters could be a problem for Republicans hoping to hold onto the U.S. House and Senate. It could also be an obstacle for a Minnesota GOP that hoped to win control of the Legislature and the governor’s office by riding a wave of frustration with widespread fraud in social services programs. [emphasis added]

About two-thirds of Minnesotans view U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement negatively and believe the tactics of federal agents have gone too far, according to the NBC News Decision Desk/KARE 11/Minnesota Star Tribune Poll powered by SurveyMonkey.
