Chapter 2: What does the latest NPR-PBS News Marist poll reveal about public opinion on immigration?
A new NPR-PBS News Marist poll is out. NPR's Domenico Montanaro reports it finds President Trump's immigration and enforcement tactics are widely unpopular.
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. Domenico Montanaro, NPR News, Washington.
President Trump says his administration could use a, quote, softer touch on immigration. He spoke in an interview aired last night on NBC. Trump says it was his decision to withdraw 700 federal agents from Minnesota this week. This follows the killing of two American protesters in Minneapolis. But Trump says his administration still has to be tough with hard criminals.
More than 2,000 federal agents still remain deployed in Minnesota. A federal judge has ruled U.S. immigration agents in Oregon can no longer arrest people without a warrant. The only exception is if there's a chance the detainee can flee. The decision is a preliminary injunction. It stems from a class action lawsuit against the Department of Homeland Security.
The judge heard testimony that federal agents in Oregon have arrested people in immigration sweeps without using a warrant or determining if the targets of the sweep are likely to escape. Iran's foreign minister says nuclear talks with the Trump administration are now set for tomorrow in Oman. NPR's Michelle Kellerman reports.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio says he's not sure if the U.S. can reach any deals with the Iranian government, but he says President Trump prefers to have negotiations about a range of issues.
And that includes the range of their ballistic missiles. That includes their sponsorship of terrorist organizations across the region. That includes the nuclear program, and that includes the treatment of their own people.
Rubio brushed off concerns that a meeting now would legitimize the Iranian regime after thousands of protesters were killed there. Trump had told the protesters last month that help was on its way and that the U.S. was, quote, locked and loaded. Michelle Kellerman, NPR News, the State Department.
