A new poll released Feb. 2, 2026, reported that nearly 61% of Americans favor continuing mass deportations, a finding the White House emphasized amid heightened immigration tensions. The result follows two high-profile Minneapolis shootings in January — ICE agent Jonathan Ross fatally shot Renée Good on Jan. 7, and Border Patrol agents shot Alex Pretti on Jan. 24 — incidents captured on video that have contradicted initial official accounts and prompted federal probes, protests, and policy debates.
