Americans think President Donald Trump’s sweeping immigration crackdown has crossed the line.

A CNN/SSRS poll released Sunday showed that 55 percent of Americans think that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids are going too far. A new CBS News/YouGov poll also found 52 percent of Americans say that the administration is trying to deport more people than they expected.

A majority in both polls—57 percent in the CNN poll, 58 percent in the CBS News poll—said they opposed how the Trump administration was using massive detention facilities for migrants, while 53 percent of people told CNN they didn’t want ICE’s budget to increase. Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill allocated a total of $171 billion to the Department of Homeland Security, with $45 billion going to ICE’s detention system and $30 billion to his deportation drive.

The change in sentiment, following months of approval of Trump’s approach, reflects the broader frustration with the administration as Trump demands it scale up its raids. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller set a goal of 3,000 deportations per day in late May, setting off protests around the country as ICE stepped up its raids. Trump sent 4,000 members of the National Guard and 700 Marines to Los Angeles to quell demonstrations over the objections of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

1. And yet he went on "LiesSocial" this morning and claimed

that he's at 93% approval. Weird.

3. You know, it's all bullshit.

This morning, I met with a friend who wanted me to meet her friend. Now I don't know if she thought that telling me that she supports some asshole for president, voted for him three times, and would vote for him again was her way of telling me to take a hike or if she thought I was stupid. One of the first things I said about myself was that I am a liberal and think that DeSantis, Trump, Bondi, and the rest of our current administration sucks.
Long story short, these polls don't mean shit.

Don't get me wrong, while it's enjoyable to read them I always revert back to knowing that I'm old enough to know better.

(It is reasonable to think that she is truly a republican. Point after point totally missed their marks - everything from immigration to taxes to healthcare lacked any compassion and understanding. There is nothing any of us can do to make the miserable good natured.)
