Poll data show GOP backlash grows after Alex Pretti killing

New Ipsos and Quinnipiac polls released after Alex Pretti’s death show Americans view the shooting by federal agents as excessive and not justified, with Republicans shifting more against the administration’s immigration crackdown. Ipsos finds 55% call the force excessive vs. 16% who see it as necessary, and Quinnipiac reports 62% say Pretti’s killing was not justified (vs. 22% not justified for Good earlier). The data mirror a widening Republican backlash, complicating Trump’s hardline immigration agenda and signaling political vulnerability if another incident occurs.
