ICE Conducts Multiple Raids in Texas Valley Amid Growing Deportation Support

President Donald Trump's administration has intensified Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids across the Rio Grande Valley, including public detentions at workplaces and immigration court, sparking concern and support within immigrant communities. Despite protests and violent riots in Los Angeles triggered by these deportation efforts, public approval for Trump's immigration policies remains strong, with polls indicating a majority of Americans back the deportation actions and the deployment of the National Guard to manage unrest. Notably, immigrant voter support for Trump and his hardline immigration stance has significantly increased, marking a reversal from previous election cycles, with many immigrant voters now favoring Republicans on immigration issues. While legal immigration maintains broad public support, opposition to illegal immigration is widespread, reflecting nuanced public opinion. Conservative figures also echo public sentiment for law and order, endorsing Trump's approach to immigration enforcement amid the ongoing tensions. However, a federal judge has ruled that Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles violated the Constitution, ordering the return of troop control to California authorities.
