A focus group is not a poll.

It's a statistically insignificant sample.

But we know that a majority of voters like the idea of securing the border.

They don't like the idea of ICE going into neighborhoods and

And grabbing people who otherwise are law-abiding citizens or maybe they're going through the asylum process.

What was really interesting to me is that Rich Tao tested two what you could call democratic responses to this.

The first one was abolish ICE.

Nobody liked that.

I don't think the Democratic Party is adopting abolish ICE as a position, but that is something that you've heard from some Democrats.

Here's what some of these voters had to say about abolishing ICE.

We're going to hear from Ernie and Scott.

They're both independent voters.

But when he tested the list of reforms that Democrats in Congress are trying to push right now, like...

getting a warrant before you go into someone's house, verifying citizenship before you arrest someone, doing an investigation if someone is shot or killed, wearing body cameras.

All of those reforms, those restraints on ICE were very, very popular.

And what I thought was interesting, what that tells me is that we are now in February.

If Donald Trump wants to

He can correct this.

He has a lot of time before the midterms to change the way that ICE is going about deporting people.

That's something that I think voters are open-minded to.
