Attitudes towards the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency fell largely along partisan lines.
Over the past two years, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency has sparked widespread outrage over its role in enforcing the Trump administration's hardline immigration policies—and it appears that anger has stuck, with a new study finding ICE to be the least favorable federal agency in America., the new poll asked people in the U.S. for their opinions on the country's federal agencies.
Unsurprisingly, attitudes towards the immigration agency fell largely along partisan lines, with 70 percent of Republicans and Republican-leaning independents having a favorable view of ICE, while just 19 percent of Democrats and Democratic-leaning independents felt the same way.The Postal Service was deemed the most likeable agency, with 90 percent of those polled in favor of its efforts, compared with just 8 percent who appeared unsatisfied.
The FBI also had relatively favorable reviews, with 70 percent of those polled in favor of the agency, compared with 22 percent. "About half of Democrats now express a favorable view of the DOJ, an 11 percentage point decline since last year and down from the nearly three-quarters of Democrats who viewed the department positively in January 2017," when President Donald Trump took office, Pew states.
