Fox News Poll: 59% of voters say ICE is too aggressive, up 10 points since July
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While more than half of voters approve of the job President Donald Trump is doing on border security, a new Fox News survey finds a majority disapproves of how he is handling immigration and a growing number view the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency’s tactics as «too aggressive» — including significant portions of the president’s coalition.
In addition, there is disagreement about how well ICE is carrying out its core mission. Twenty-nine percent of voters say ICE’s enforcement practices «almost always» reflect Trump’s pledge to focus on illegal immigrants with criminal records, 25% think that happens «most of the time,» 19% say «sometimes,» and 27% «not very often.» More Republicans (45%) than Democrats (17%) and independents (15%) think ICE is «almost always» keeping the pledge.
At the same time, there is a backlash against the agency’s methods. Fifty-nine percent of voters characterize ICE as «too aggressive,» a 10-point increase since July 2025. This sentiment is increasingly defined by a shift in the center: the perception of ICE as too aggressive is up 14 points among Whites without a college degree, 19 points among moderates, and 22 points among independents. A similar shift is seen among right-leaning groups, including Trump voters (+9 more aggressive), Republican women (+14), and non-MAGA Republicans (+23).
FOX NEWS POLL: VOTERS SAY GO SLOW ON AI DEVELOPMENT — BUT DON’T KNOW WHO SHOULD STEER
When those saying ICE is too aggressive are asked to specify their concerns, they are more likely to point to tactics rather than targets: 44% say «using too much force,» while 23% say the agency is «targeting the wrong people.» Another 29% volunteer it’s both.
FOX NEWS POLL: VIEWS ON THE YEAR ENDING ARE MERRIEST SINCE 2020
The survey was conducted from Friday through Monday (January 23-26); on Saturday, during a Minneapolis protest, federal agents fired shots that killed Alex Pretti.
Border security remains Trump’s best issue, and currently the only one where he receives a net positive job rating: 52% of voters approve. That’s up 1 point from 51% in December, but down from a record high of 57% approval in September. Some 17% of Democrats approve of Trump on border security compared to 9% on immigration. Among Republicans, it’s 89% and 85% approval respectively.
Forty-five percent of voters approve of the president’s job performance on immigration, while 55% disapprove. That’s unchanged since last month. His highest immigration approval was 48% in July 2025. In trends going back to early in Trump’s first term, only once has his disapproval rating on immigration been below 50% and that was 48% in April 2025.
«This poll demonstrates something we’ve noted for a long time — border security and immigration are often distinct issues,» says Republican pollster Daron Shaw, who conducts the Fox News Poll with Democratic counterpart Chris Anderson. «Republicans in general, and the president in particular, are seen as effective when it comes to border security. But public sentiment is more complicated when it comes to handling immigrants in the U.S. illegally.»
Currently, 44% approve of Trump’s overall job performance, while 56% disapprove — the same marks he received in December.
Support for abolishing ICE has doubled since 2018, rising from 18% to 36%. Much of the increase comes from White voters (+20 points), women (+21), independents (+22), and Democrats (+34). Opposition to abolishing the agency held steady at 42%, while the share saying they are unsure dropped from 39% to 22%.
Views are split on whether local governments should be required to collaborate with ICE: 49% favor requiring cooperation, 50% oppose it. The level of support for cooperation among Republicans (85%) is matched by opposition among Democrats (83%). Independents are against cooperation by a 30-point margin (34% favor, 64% oppose).

Conducted January 23-26, 2026, under the direction of Beacon Research (D) and Shaw & Company Research (R), this Fox News survey includes interviews with a sample of 1,005 registered voters randomly selected from a national voter file. Respondents spoke with live interviewers on landlines (106) and cellphones (645) or completed the survey online after receiving a text (254). Results based on the full sample have a margin of sampling error of ±3 percentage points. Sampling error for results among subgroups is higher. In addition to sampling error, question wording and order can influence results. Weights are generally applied to age, race, education, and area variables to ensure the demographics are representative of the registered voter population. Sources for developing weight targets include the most recent American Community Survey, Fox News Voter Analysis, and voter file data.

El dictador Miguel Díaz-Canel afirmó que Cuba tiene la “capacidad y disposición para dialogar con el gobierno de Estados Unidos”
El dictador cubano Miguel Díaz-Canel afirmó que Cuba tiene la “capacidad y disposición para dialogar con el gobierno de Estados Unidos”, pero sostuvo que cualquier conversación debe darse sin presiones y en condiciones de igualdad y respeto.
Las declaraciones se produjeron durante un discurso transmitido por la televisión estatal, en un contexto de presión económica de Washington sobre la isla tras el corte de los suministros petroleros desde Venezuela, histórico sostén del régimen cubano.
“Hemos dicho que tenemos capacidad y disposición para dialogar con el gobierno de Estados Unidos”, expresó Díaz-Canel en su mensaje televisado.
El líder del régimen cubano remarcó que cualquier proceso de diálogo debe excluir presiones externas. “El diálogo no puede ser bajo presiones”, afirmó, y agregó que “el diálogo tiene que ser en condiciones de igualdad, de respeto”.
Durante su intervención, Díaz-Canel también señaló que el régimen cubano denunciará cualquier intento de condicionar las conversaciones. “Y todo eso lo vamos a denunciar. Y sin miedo”, expresó.
“Nosotros sí tenemos la convicción de que nosotros tenemos que salir de nuestros problemas por nosotros mismos, con nuestro talento y con el coraje de los cubanos”, afirmó.
Horas antes del discurso de Díaz-Canel, el presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, confirmó que su administración inició negociaciones con los altos mandos del régimen cubano y afirmó que confía en alcanzar un acuerdo.
“Estamos hablando con las más altas esferas de Cuba. Veamos qué pasa”, declaró el presidente estadounidense. “Creo que vamos a llegar a un acuerdo con Cuba”, agregó.
Las declaraciones del mandatario estadounidense se produjeron tras la captura del dictador narco Nicolás Maduro por fuerzas estadounidenses y el corte efectivo de los suministros petroleros desde Venezuela, principal sostén histórico del régimen cubano.
Trump enfatizó en reiteradas oportunidades que Cuba “no podrá sobrevivir” sin ese apoyo y la calificó como una “nación fallida” al borde del colapso.
La noche del sábado, el presidente estadounidense respondió a las advertencias de la presidenta mexicana Claudia Sheinbaum, quien señaló que cortar el suministro de crudo a Cuba provocaría una crisis humanitaria.
“No tiene por qué haber una crisis humanitaria. Creo que probablemente vendrán a nosotros y querrían hacer un trato. Así que Cuba será libre nuevamente. Vendrán a nosotros y harán un trato”, dijo Trump.
En ese mismo contexto, circularon informaciones no confirmadas que indicaron que una delegación cubana, encabezada por el general Alejandro Castro Espín, habría mantenido reuniones en México con un alto funcionario de la Agencia Central de Inteligencia (CIA).
Según esas versiones, el objetivo de los encuentros habría sido explorar una salida negociada a la actual crisis bilateral y gestionar el eventual desbloqueo de 133 millones de dólares depositados en una cuenta bancaria vinculada a remesas de emigrantes cubanos. La delegación buscaría utilizar esos fondos para la compra de combustible.
“Están hablando de todo”, señaló una fuente consultada sobre el alcance de las conversaciones.
Entretanto, la Oficina de Asuntos del Hemisferio Occidental del Departamento de Estado exigió al régimen cubano cesar inmediatamente sus acciones represivas.
“El régimen ilegítimo cubano debe cesar inmediatamente sus actos represivos de mandar a individuos para interferir en la labor diplomática del Encargado de Negocios Hammer”, señaló el organismo en su cuenta de X.
“Nuestros diplomáticos continuarán reuniéndose con el pueblo cubano, a pesar de las tácticas fallidas de intimidación del régimen”, añadió la Oficina.

Russia kills 12 Ukrainian miners in deadly bus attack hours after peace talks postponed
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Russian drone strike hit a bus carrying miners in Ukraine’s Dnipropetrovsk region on Sunday, killing at least 12 people.
Ukrainian emergency services later reported the death toll had risen to 15 in one of the deadliest single attacks on energy workers since the start of the war.
The attack Sunday came a few hours after President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced a new round of peace talks between Ukraine and Russia had been postponed.
A spokesperson for DTEK, Ukraine’s largest private energy firm, which employed the workers, told Fox News Digital that drones had targeted the bus as it traveled «roughly 40 miles from the front line in central and eastern Ukraine.»
The DTEK spokesperson also described the incident as a «terrorist attack on civilian infrastructure.»
«This strike was a targeted terrorist attack against civilians and another crime by Russia against critical infrastructure,» the spokesperson added.

The bus was transporting miners after the end of their shift when it was hit by a Russian drone, the State Emergency Service of Ukraine also confirmed.
At least seven workers were injured, and a fire sparked by the impact was later extinguished by emergency crews.
«The epicenter of one of the attacks was a company bus transporting miners from the enterprise after a shift in the Dnipropetrovsk region,» the company also said in a statement.
Zelenskyy condemned the strike late Sunday, calling it another deliberate attack on civilians.

Earlier in the day, he announced that the next round of trilateral talks involving Ukraine, Russia and the U.S. would now take place Feb. 4-5 in Abu Dhabi, after originally being expected for Sunday.
«Ukraine is ready for a substantive discussion, and we are interested in ensuring that the outcome brings us closer to a real and dignified end to the war,» Zelenskyy said on X, adding that the delay had been agreed to by all sides.
The delay followed a surprise meeting Saturday in Florida between Steve Witkoff, President Donald Trump’s special envoy, and Kirill Dmitriev, the Kremlin’s special envoy and head of Russia’s sovereign wealth fund.
The talks in Abu Dhabi are now expected to include representatives from Ukraine, Russia and the U.S., according to the Associated Press.

Meanwhile, Zelenskyy warned Russia is stepping up its aerial campaign against civilian and logistical targets.
«Over the past week, Russia has used more than 980 attack drones, nearly 1,100 guided aerial bombs, and two missiles against Ukraine,» he wrote on X on Sunday. «We are recording Russian attempts to destroy logistics and connectivity between cities and communities.»
In a statement, DTEK CEO Maxim Timchenko also explained the bus attack marked the company’s «single largest loss [of] life of DTEK employees since Russia’s full-scale invasion.»

«We can already say with certainty that this was an unprovoked terrorist attack on a purely civilian target, for which there can be no justification,» Timchenko said.
The attack marked «one of the darkest days in our history,» he added. «DTEK teams are working with emergency services on the ground in Dnipropetrovsk region to ensure the injured, and families who have lost loved ones, get all the care and support they need. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten,» he added.
