Five flashpoints ignite backlash against ICE enforcement

Americans are increasingly uneasy about broad ICE enforcement after an ICE agent fatally shot Renee Good in Minneapolis, with Axios outlining five flashpoints: Good’s Minnesota shooting; DHS/DOJ investigations into ICE’s Minnesota raid; a CBP shooting in Portland; a Minnesota woman dragged from her car during an ICE operation in a viral video; and the Oglala Sioux Tribe’s claim that ICE held tribal members, fueling protests and political backlash as polls show many view ICE as making the country less safe (47%) and a majority say Good’s shooting was not justified (50%).

Undocumented Immigrant Mobility on the Rise, Indians Among Largest Groups: Studies Reveal

According to a recent report by the Pew Research Center, the estimated number of unauthorized immigrants in the U.S. increased slightly to 10.5 million in 2021. However, Texas' population of unauthorized immigrants remained stable at 1.6 million people. While Mexico is still the most common origin country for unauthorized immigrants, the proportion of Mexico-born unauthorized immigrants has dropped significantly since 2017. The study also found that unauthorized immigration from other regions, such as Central America and South and East Asia, has increased. The geographic patterns of unauthorized immigrants have shifted, indicating more work opportunities and resources in other parts of the country.
