Two-thirds say federal law enforcement agents have gone too far.
That's up significantly since last summer.
61% disapprove of ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, and 62% think ICE is making Americans less safe.
This comes on the heels of the killing of two U.S.
citizens at the hands of federal immigration agents in Minnesota over the past few weeks.
A key part of the coalition to help Trump get reelected were independents, Latinos, and voters under 30 years old.
But they've soured on the president.
Seven in 10 of each group say ICE has gone too far, and majorities of them all disapprove of the job that Trump is doing.

And I'm Domenico Montanaro, senior political editor and correspondent.
Yeah, I think it has a lot of consequences for the administration's credibility and whether people believe them or the people at the helm in this administration going forward.
You know, Kristi Noem is head of Department of Homeland Security.
and been a face of a lot of this, you know, she's really getting a lot of criticism from moderate Republicans now saying that she's not up to the job.
I mean, you had Tom Tillis, a senator from North Carolina, who albeit is retiring, and that seems to give people more guts to speak out.
And he had said that she should be out of a job.
Lisa Murkowski, a Republican senator from Alaska, said she wouldn't support her again.
And, you know, of course, you're having a moderate Democrat saying similar things.
So we've seen, you know, some consequences here
for some of the folks in this administration.
But ultimately, it starts with the president and the tone that he has set out for how he wants these deportations to take place.
