The issue dominated the 2024 election, with poll after poll showing it was one of the top concerns that propelled President Donald Trump to a second term in the White House.

He called for de-escalation in an internal memo, adding “I believe America is strongest when we live up to our highest ideals, when we treat everyone with dignity and respect, no matter who they are or where they’re from.”
In a message from Open AI’s Sam Altman, he wrote, “What’s happening with ICE is going too far,” according to The New York Times.

Tillis and other Republicans are blaming Trump adviser Stephen Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. who Democrats say must go.
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., said, “We will commence impeachment proceedings against Noem in the absence of her being fired.
