Some voters who backed Trump say ICE is going 'too far' [View all]

(NPR) Some swing voters who supported President Trump in the 2024 election say Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents are going "too far" in carrying out deportation orders after an officer shot and killed Renee Macklin Good in Minneapolis earlier this month.

On Tuesday, NPR observed online focus groups with 14 voters from Pennsylvania who supported Joe Biden in 2020 and then swung to Trump in 2024. Seven of those voters identified themselves as Republicans, six identified as independents, and one identified as a Democrat.

The focus groups were part of the Swing Voter Project, conducted by the companies Engagious and Sago. NPR is a partner on the project.

In this case, eight voters said ICE is generally "getting things about right," while six said it has "gone too far." No one thought it has "not gone far enough."
