Fox News Poll: Support for deportation depends on who is being targeted
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
As the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agency, or ICE, continues to crackdown on illegal immigration, about half of voters say the department is too aggressive in its deportation efforts. Furthermore, while support for deportation is high, it depends on who is being targeted.
The latest Fox News survey, released Monday, finds 3 in 10 back deporting all illegal immigrants, while 6 in 10 supports only deporting those charged with crimes but would allow others to stay and apply for citizenship. One in 10 favors letting all illegal immigrants remain in the U.S.
Since 2015, a majority has generally favored the deportation of illegal immigrants.
FOX NEWS POLL: THE GOP IS SEEN AS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A CLEAR PLAN FOR THE COUNTRY
Republicans (54%) are about eight times more likely than Democrats (7%) to say all illegal immigrants should be deported, and one-quarter of independents agree (25%).
Roughly 8 in 10 Democrats, 6 in 10 independents, and 4 in 10 Republicans agree that at least illegal immigrants charged with crimes should be deported, while others should be offered a path to stay.
On the current approach to deportation, however, views are divided. Half, 49%, feel ICE has been too aggressive in its efforts to deport illegal immigrants while a quarter (24%) say it has not been aggressive enough. Nearly 3 in 10 say deportation efforts are about right (27%).
Most Democrats think ICE is too aggressive (81%), while Republicans are split between saying its actions are about right (43%) or not aggressive enough (40%). Some 17% of Republicans think ICE has been too aggressive.
Independents are more likely to say the agency is too aggressive (49%) than about right (28%) or not aggressive enough (23%).
FOX NEWS POLL: TRUMP FACING HEADWINDS AT SIX-MONTH MARK
When asked what concerns them about illegal immigration, the largest number of voters say that it overburdens government programs (39%). Fewer worry whether it leads to an increase in crime (16%) or terrorism (10%), takes jobs from U.S. citizens (14%), or changes the country’s culture (9%).
Concerns about illegal immigration have shifted somewhat compared to 15 years ago. At that time, by a 10-point margin, a greater share were worried about economic issues like overburdening government programs or taking away jobs from citizens (63% in 2010 vs. 53% now), and fewer were concerned about increasing crime (6% in 2010 vs. 16% now).
Meanwhile, majorities oppose immigration-related elements included in the new budget legislation, the «One Big Beautiful Bill,» as 55% are against increasing spending on the border wall and 59% oppose spending more on immigrant detention centers.
By a 6-point margin, voters think the Republican Party is better able to handle immigration than the Democratic Party, and President Donald Trump’s best job ratings are on border security (56% approve, 44% disapprove) and immigration (48%, 51%). Fewer voters approve on foreign policy (45%, 54%), the economy (44%, 55%), and inflation and tariffs (36%, 62% for both). Overall, 46% approve of his job performance, while 54% disapprove.
One reason Trump does so well on border security is that 1 in 5 Democrats approve of the job he’s doing – their highest rating on any issue tested. The same is true of independents as more than half approve, making border security his best issue.
A look at Hispanic voters…
On illegal immigration, attitudes among Hispanic voters look similar to those among voters overall: 60% support deporting illegal immigrants charged with crimes while 15% support deporting all those here illegally (23% say let all stay).
The majority thinks ICE has been too aggressive (57%) with a quarter (24%) saying about right, and 1 in 5 not aggressive enough (19%).
More than half of Hispanic voters like Trump’s performance on border security (54% approve) but dislike it on immigration (60% disapprove). Overall, 42% approve and 58% disapprove.
And like voters overall, the biggest concern on illegal immigration among Hispanic voters is overburdening government (35%). Otherwise, concern spreads across other issues such as crime (15%), jobs (14%), culture (14%), and terrorism (11%).

Alleged ‘serial criminal’ nabbed in Michigan traffic bust after Biden administration released him into US
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
United States Customs and Border Patrol caught an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member during a traffic stop near Detroit Wednesday.
The traffic stop in Shelby Township by Maryville Station CBP officers was triggered by a fake license plate on a vehicle. CBP said the three people inside the car were all in the United States illegally, and one of them is Venezulean national Manuel Zavala-Lopez, an alleged Tren de Aragua gang member who entered the country during the Biden administration in May 2023 and was released, according to DHS.
The group was named a foreign terrorist organization early on during President Donald Trump’s second term, along with MS-13. Some of those alleged members have been sent to the Terrorism Confinement Center in El Salvador for detention.
FBI TAKES DOWN ANTI-TREN GANG MEMBERS IN LARGEST BUST YET IN VIOLENT MIGRANT TURF WAR
«Zavala-Lopez is a serial criminal who’s traveled across the U.S. committing violent crimes. He has an outstanding warrant for failure to appear on a felony assault charge in Denver, Colorado. He has also been charged with robbery resulting in physical injury, criminal possession of a weapon intent to use, assault, possession of stolen property and petty larceny in New York,» DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin said in a statement.
«Thanks to our brave law enforcement, he is off the streets and will no longer be able to terrorize American citizens. He will remain in ICE custody pending removal.»

«The arrest of this Tren de Aragua gang member, who has a history of firearms and other criminal charges and was wanted on an active warrant out of Denver, Colorado, for failure to appear, removes another dangerous criminal illegal alien from our country and enhances public safety,» Detroit Sector Chief Patrol Agent John R. Morris said in a statement.
«This marks the second arrest of a gang member from a foreign terrorist organization this month and underscores the relentless efforts of our agents and law enforcement partners. These cases highlight the critical value of interagency cooperation in removing these criminal threats from our communities,» Morris added.
The 30-year-old, who is not named but had his mugshot disclosed by the agency, was previously charged with violent robbery as well as weapons and immigration violations, according to a news release.
«This Tren de Aragua gang member, who had no business being in our country, let alone roaming the streets of Shelby Township, serves as our department’s commitment to keeping our community safe and getting dangerous individuals like this out of our community,» Lt. Mark Benedettini of the Shelby Township Police Department told Fox News Digital in an email.
TRUMP’S CRACKDOWN NETS OVER 2,700 ALLEGED MEMBERS OF NOTORIOUS VENEZUELAN GANG

Traffic stops are considered a major aspect of border and immigration enforcement, and people and drugs are often caught as a result.
Two Salvadoran nationals in the country illegally were also arrested by CBP in Detroit earlier this month, the agency announced July 10.

Border Patrol agents responded after a call for extra help during an «altercation» at a motel in Sterling Heights.
One of the men «admitted» to being a member of MS-13 and said he previously served 20 years behind bars in the Central American country for killing someone from a rival gang.

Starmer says UK to recognize Palestinian state if Israel doesn’t agree to ceasefire, Hamas must ‘disarm’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
The United Kingdom will recognize a Palestinian state if Israel does not agree to a ceasefire and move toward peace in Gaza by September, U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer warned Tuesday.
Starmer made the announcement during a press conference on Tuesday, just a day after meeting with President Donald Trump in Scotland and discussing the Israel-Hamas war and the hunger crisis in Gaza.
«I can confirm that the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September, unless the Israeli government take substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace, reviving the prospect of a two-state solution,» Starmer told reporters. «This includes allowing the U.N. to restart the supply of aid and making clear there will be no annexations in the West Bank.»
«Meanwhile, our message to the terrorists of Hamas is unchanged and unequivocal. They must immediately release all the hostages. Sign up to a ceasefire, disarm and accept that they will play no part in the government of Gaza,» he continued.

Trump declined to endorse Starmer’s move in a statement to reporters aboard Air Force One. He noted that both Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron have now moved toward recognizing a Palestinian state.
«Essentially, they’re saying the same thing and that’s okay. But you know it doesn’t mean I have to agree,» Trump said.
Starmer said his government will make a final assessment ahead of the UNGA meeting to determine what steps both Israel and Hamas have taken and make a final decision on recognizing a Palestinian state.
The U.K. leader went on to say that the primary motive behind the announcement is to change the situation on the ground in Gaza as well as facilitate the release of more hostages.
Israel’s foreign ministry rejected Starmer’s announcement in a countering statement on Tuesday.
«The shift in the British government’s position at this time, following the French move and internal political pressures, constitutes a reward for Hamas and harms efforts to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and a framework for the release of hostages,» the ministry said.

The U.K.’s announcement comes just one day after Starmer met with Trump in Turnberry, Scotland, where both leaders condemned the humanitarian and hunger crisis in Gaza.
Trump publicly broke with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the meeting, saying he disagreed that the hunger crisis is a false narrative put forward by Hamas.
«Based on television, I would say not particularly, because those children look very hungry,» Trump said when asked if he agreed with Netanyahu’s claims. «That’s real starvation stuff.»

Trump has highlighted America’s efforts to secure aid for Gaza, noting some $60 million the U.S. spent on the issue in recent days.
«We gave $60 million two weeks ago for food for Gaza, and nobody acknowledged it. Nobody talks about it. And it makes you feel a little bad when you do that,» Trump said during a Sunday meeting with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen. «And, you know, you have other countries not giving anything. None of the European countries, by the way, gave – I mean, nobody gave but us and nobody said, gee, thank you very much. And it would be nice to have at least a thank you.»

Israel has begun conducting aid drops across Gaza in recent days, bending to pressure after months of restricting the flow of aid. The IDF had long said Hamas was stealing much of the resources being sent into the region, a statement Trump and the U.S. have echoed.

Venezuela, Nicaragua y Cuba concentran el 92,3% del exilio periodístico en América Latina
En América Latina, el exilio forzado por razones periodísticas tiene nombre y apellido: Venezuela, Nicaragua y Cuba. Estos tres países concentran el 92,3 % del total de periodistas exiliados en la región, según cifras recientes difundidas por organizaciones de defensa de la libertad de prensa.
El dato, incluido en el informe Voces desplazadas: radiografía del exilio periodístico latinoamericano 2018-2024, expone una tendencia alarmante: la criminalización del periodismo, el cierre del espacio cívico y la represión estatal directa han convertido al oficio en una actividad de alto riesgo. Elaborado por la Universidad de Costa Rica, junto a Fundamedios, la Cátedra Unesco UDP de Chile y la Asociación de Periodistas Venezolanos en el Extranjero, el estudio documenta al menos 477 periodistas venezolanos exiliados, seguidos por 268 nicaragüenses y 98 cubanos. La mayoría ha sido obligada a huir por razones estrictamente vinculadas al ejercicio profesional.
En Venezuela, la salida masiva de comunicadores no solo ha vaciado redacciones y emisoras: ha dejado tras de sí zonas de silencio y desiertos informativos. La censura sistemática, el bloqueo de medios digitales, las detenciones arbitrarias y el acoso institucional han desmantelado el ecosistema informativo. La consecuencia es un vacío que agrava la desinformación y vulnera el derecho ciudadano a la información veraz. Venezuela se ha convertido en el epicentro del desplazamiento periodístico regional.
En Nicaragua, la represión se intensificó tras las protestas sociales de 2018. El régimen de Daniel Ortega ha clausurado medios, confiscado bienes, perseguido judicialmente a periodistas y nacionalizado la censura. Numerosos comunicadores han sido acusados de conspiración y obligados al destierro, incluso despojados de su nacionalidad. El caso del diario La Prensa —cuya redacción fue allanada y cuyos directivos fueron encarcelados— resume el deterioro de las condiciones para informar en el país.
En Cuba, el periodismo independiente enfrenta desde hace décadas un entorno de represión institucionalizada. El auge de medios digitales alternativos desató una nueva ola de hostigamientos. Citaciones policiales, arrestos domiciliarios, vigilancia constante y prohibiciones de salida del país han obligado a decenas de periodistas a emigrar. Medios como 14ymedio, El Estornudo o ADN Cuba han sido blanco frecuente de estas medidas.
Según el informe, en estos contextos la persecución a la prensa es encabezada por el Poder Ejecutivo. La ausencia de contrapesos democráticos facilita el uso de instituciones estatales para hostigar y criminalizar a periodistas. Las estrategias incluyen restricciones legales, campañas de desinformación, acoso digital y detenciones arbitrarias que derivan en el exilio. “En países como Venezuela, Nicaragua, Cuba o El Salvador la persecución y la estigmatización es liderada por el Poder Ejecutivo”, concluye el estudio.
Salir de estos países tampoco es fácil. Numerosos testimonios reportan confiscación de pasaportes, retención de documentos y detenciones en puestos migratorios. Por eso, muchos periodistas optan por rutas irregulares, exponiéndose a nuevos riesgos para evitar ser identificados como críticos del régimen. En el caso venezolano, es común que el desplazamiento ocurra en dos etapas: primero a países de tránsito como Colombia, luego a destinos más estables como Estados Unidos, Argentina, Chile o España.
El impacto del exilio no se limita a quienes huyen. La salida de periodistas deja a la población sin fuentes confiables, consolida el monopolio informativo estatal y normaliza la censura. Además, muchos comunicadores desplazados deben abandonar la profesión por las trabas legales, económicas o administrativas en los países de acogida. La mayoría enfrenta precariedad, discriminación y secuelas emocionales asociadas al desarraigo y el miedo.
Aunque el fenómeno no es nuevo, se ha intensificado con el endurecimiento autoritario y el colapso institucional. La Asociación de Periodistas Venezolanos en el Extranjero estima que más de 1.000 comunicadores han salido del país en la última década. Muchos forman parte del mayor éxodo humano contemporáneo de América Latina: más de 7,7 millones de personas han abandonado Venezuela.
A pesar de todo, muchos periodistas continúan informando desde el exilio, impulsando medios digitales, colaborando con redes internacionales y documentando abusos de poder. Su trabajo, a la distancia y en condiciones adversas, es un acto de resistencia. “Nos quitaron el país, pero no la palabra”, resume una reportera nicaragüense desde Costa Rica. Esa frase sintetiza el costo y el compromiso de un periodismo que, incluso en el exilio, se niega a desaparecer.
