A new Quinnipiac poll has exposed the deep political fault lines dividing America over the January 7 shooting death of Renee Good by ICE agent Jonathan Ross in Minneapolis, revealing how even matters of law enforcement have become weaponized by partisan politics.
The poll, released Tuesday, shows 53% of American voters believe the ICE agent was not justified in the deadly shooting, while 35% support the agent's actions. But dig deeper into the numbers, and the real story emerges: a staggering 77% of Republicans back the ICE agent, while the vast majority of Democrats are rushing to condemn law enforcement.
This isn't just about one tragic incident on a Minneapolis street. This is about two completely different visions of America clashing head-on. On one side, you have patriots who understand that our brave ICE agents are doing the dangerous work of securing our borders and enforcing immigration law under the Trump administration's renewed commitment to putting America First. On the other side, you have the same crowd that spent years demonizing law enforcement and pushing 'defund the police' nonsense.
The Deeper Truth
What the mainstream media won't tell you is that this poll reflects exactly what we've been saying all along: the left's hatred of immigration enforcement runs so deep that they'll reflexively attack any ICE agent who uses force, regardless of the circumstances. These are the same people who cheered when leftist prosecutors went after cops doing their jobs.
Meanwhile, Republicans understand what's at stake. President Trump's mass deportation agenda is already making America safer, and our ICE agents deserve our support, not second-guessing from armchair quarterbacks who've never faced a life-or-death situation in the field.
The 12% who claim to have 'no opinion' might want to ask themselves a simple question: Do you support the men and women risking their lives to enforce our immigration laws, or do you side with those who want open borders and chaos?
America's choice has never been clearer. We can either back our law enforcement heroes or cave to the mob that wants to defund and defame anyone who dares to enforce the rule of law.
