Trump’s immigration raids are changing public opinion. Recent polls show support has come down to 20%. And 25% US adults now worry that they or someone close to them could be deported

Those days are over, Trump said this week – warning American tech giants against hiring workers in India. He did come into office with promises of a crackdown on immigration, but undocumented immigration. Even on that signature policy, public opinion has now decisively soured. Similarly, companies tapping into Indian talent and skill sets would hardly accept his threats passively.

In recent polls, only 20-30% of the public support his major immigration initiatives – like rounding up undocumented immigrants without criminal records, building huge internment camps, deporting people to countries like El Salvador and South Sudan without any judicial process.
