Why is the media not covering ICE resistance in LA?

In a CBS News/YouGov poll conducted June 4-6, 54% of Americans said they approved of Trump's deporation policy, and 50% approved of how he's handling immigration

Yes, but when she first came to the US she was on a tourist visa, which does not allow you to work, and worked without authorization for a period before getting a work visa.

President Donald Trump's approval rating has jumped 7 percent in a week with Hispanic voters, The Economist and YouGov polls show.

She isn’t getting her citizenship revoked.

You're leaving out most of the other findings related to Trump's immigration policy that were part of the same poll:

*A slight majority feel the administration's deportation efforts are prioritizing people they believe are dangerous criminals. Those who say this are very supportive of the program, and feel the program is making people in the U.S. safer. But if people don't think it is dangerous criminals who are the focus of the deportation effort, support drops dramatically.

*In terms of how many people the administration is trying to deport, more is not necessarily better in the public mind.

*Half of Americans say Trump is deporting more people than they thought he would during the 2024 campaign. And most in this group disapprove of the deportation program.

*On that topic of process, big percentages of Americans continue to say it is not acceptable if legal residents are mistakenly deported as part of the program.

*Unlike the net-positive views about safety, more Americans think the deportation program will weaken than strengthen the economy.

*A larger share of Americans say immigrants generally fill jobs Americans won't do.

*Trump's approval rating on immigration continues to be higher than his marks on the economy and inflation. As has typically been the case in his second term, he gets his highest specific ratings from Republicans on immigration. His overall job approval remains unchanged (55% disapproval).

You claimed the 50 percent approval rating was false or came from fox news. I showed you a link to multiple polls proving my point.

And yes, as you note, his approval ratings on immigration are his highest.

The current chaos isn’t a surprise in a city and state that too often tolerate lawlessness. Still, it wasn’t clear early Sunday whether deploying troops was necessary or would be constructive. But asked late Sunday if the National Guard were needed, L.A. police chief Jim McDonnell responded: “Well, looking at tonight, this thing has gotten out of control.”

… Mr. Newsom said the President’s calling in the National Guard is an “unmistakable step toward authoritarianism,” which is transparent hyperbole. The rarely used law Mr. Trump invoked allows such a deployment when “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.” Rioters are certainly rebelling against the authority of immigration enforcement.

The airwaves and social media are saturated with footage of protesters waving Mexican flags atop burning cars, carrying signs claiming California is “Stolen land” and chanting “We don’t want ICE or police!” Mr. Newsom really is living in La La Land if he thinks Americans will side with such radicals over Mr. Trump.

This is where the protests are happening, a pretty small area compared to the city of LA as a whole.

Then why can’t Newsome get a hold on it without federal help? Why is the LAPD saying things are out of control?

I didn't claim anything. You're talking to someone else. Your initial facts check out. I just said that you left some other poll findings out--and I listed them. I also provided a link to the poll. The reality is that attitudes about immigration tend to fall along party lines. That's another thing that the poll discussed. The overwhelming support for Miller's initiatives (because he is behind most of them) come from MAGA, not from Dems.

Because the discussion was about the 50 percent claim, and the article was linked.

Wrong again.

Nearly half of independents support Trump on deportation.

How can I be wrong? I literally cut and pasted from the article you referred to and which I linked to. I didn't even mention independents.
