ICE isn't being abolished, however 42% in favor of eliminating ICE is a huge number and only points out what a disaster Minnesota was for the administration
In addition;
Minnesota voters find ICE's presence in communities to be more harmful than beneficial, 60% to 36%. This compares to 57% nationally who say the same.
A plurality of voters (28%) say threats to democracy are the top issue facing Minnesota, followed by immigration (17%) and the economy (16%). Ten percent wrote-in issues related to Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) as their top issue, and 3% wrote in fraud.
"This is the first statewide survey that threats to democracy topped economic concerns," Kimball noted. "Nearly half of Democrats, 49%, note it as their top issue, along with 29% of independents, while a plurality of Republicans, 31%, find immigration to be the top issue."
Voters were asked if, based on what they have seen or heard, they think the ICE officer's actions were justified or not justified in the shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis. A majority, 57%, think the officer's actions were not justified, while 34% think it was justified, and 8% are unsure.
When asked the same about the shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, 61% think the officer's actions were not justified, 26% think it was justified, and 13% are unsure.
A majority of Minnesota voters (59%) disapprove of the Trump administration's handling of the shooting of Alex Pretti, 28% approve, and 13% are unsure.
