In the latest Marist poll, 54% of respondents said U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has "gone too far" in enforcing the law. Meanwhile, 18% believe the agency has "not gone far enough," and 26% describe its actions as "about right."

Rosenberg says in some cases, ICE officials are bypassing the court because they have enough evidence against an undocumented migrant to deport them. But there’s still that backlog of 3.7 million cases. And more than 400,000 new cases have been added since the start of 2025.
