[quote=Anonymous]Polls show that Hispanics are indeed worried.

- **Pew Research Center (February 24–March 2, 2025)**: A survey found that 42% of Hispanic adults worry about deportation for themselves or someone close to them, higher than other racial groups. Additionally, 63% of Hispanic adults oppose allowing law enforcement to check immigration status during routine activities like traffic stops, with opposition stronger among Latino Democrats (39%) compared to Latino Republicans (42% support). Concerns about racial profiling and proving citizenship status are notable, with 43% of Latinos fearing arrests despite legal status.[](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/04/30/latinos-worry-more-than-other-us-adults-about-deportations/)[](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-first-100-days-latino-voters-disapprove-economy/)

- **UnidosUS, Voces Unidos, LULAC, and Climate Power (April 2025)**: This poll of 1,002 registered Latino voters showed strong opposition to mass deportations, with 78% supporting deportations only for dangerous criminals and not long-residing undocumented immigrants. Additionally, 56% of Latino voters disapprove of Trump’s deportation program, and 81% believe it’s unacceptable to target legal U.S. residents. Economic concerns, like cost of living, were prioritized over immigration enforcement.[](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/trumps-first-100-days-latino-voters-disapprove-economy/)[](https://unidosus.org/blog/2024/12/18/understanding-hispanic-voters-immigration-priorities-in-the-2024-election/)

- **Equis Research with Data for Progress (April 16–May 5, 2025)**: A survey of 2,545 registered Hispanic voters found 73% agree that mass deportations tear families apart, and 71% believe they unfairly target law-abiding undocumented immigrants. While 86% support deporting violent criminals, only 25% favor an enforcement-only approach. Latinos trust Republicans more on border security (+10 points) but Democrats on immigration reform (+8 points). Concerns about racial profiling and safety were significant, with 65% believing Trump’s policies increase harassment of Latinos.[](https://www.weareequis.us/research/may-2025-poll-on-latinos-trump-and-immigration)

- **Mixed Sentiments on X**: Posts on X reflect polarized views. Some claim over 50% of Latinos support ICE policies, citing a poll suggesting 40% back ICE raids, though this is not universally representative. Others highlight Latino opposition, with one post noting a 3:1 margin against mass deportations, emphasizing concerns about racial profiling and family separation. These posts are inconclusive without broader context.

Overall, recent polling indicates that while many Latinos support deporting violent criminals, there is significant opposition to mass deportations and harsh ICE policies, driven by fears of family separation, racial profiling, and impacts on law-abiding immigrants. Economic issues often take precedence over immigration enforcement concerns.[](https://www.weareequis.us/research/may-2025-poll-on-latinos-trump-and-immigration)[](https://unidosus.org/blog/2024/12/18/understanding-hispanic-voters-immigration-priorities-in-the-2024-election/)[](https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2025/04/30/latinos-worry-more-than-other-us-adults-about-deportations/)[/quote]
