California Republicans have divergent views on the President’s law enforcement views, according to a survey published by the UCLA Latino Institute for Policy and Politics on Monday.
The Trump administration has sent a A sweeping crack In shock, Introducing Ice Attack throughout the country as well Removes legal barriers for immediate release. The study found that while Democrats were more flexible in their opposition to these immigration policies, Republican views were more diverse, especially by age, gender and ethnicity.
“At least some of the lower Republicans see that these migration strategies are moving too much,” said G. Cristina Mora, professor of sociology and director of the UC Berkeley Institute of Turtle Tustal, giving the Poll. Voting data was collected from nearly 5,000 registered voters in mid-August. More than 1,000 of those surveyed are registered Republicans.
Latino Republicans, who made historic gains for Trump in the 2024 election, show high levels of alignment with the aggressive immigration group. Young 18- to 29-year-old women and moderate Republicans also deviated significantly from Trump’s policies.
Most Republican respondents expressed approval of Trump’s Lammitation Strategist. However, the study found many deviations from Trump’s policies that ignore established legal procedures, including due process, birthright citizenship and identification of federal agents.
“In these legal issues, that’s where you see some of the biggest breaks,” Mora said.
Of those surveyed, 28% did not agree with the end of naturalization, and Trump is responsible, and 45% agreed that ice agents should show clear identification. Four out of 10 Republicans also support due process for immigrants.
Young people, who make up about 15% of the party in California, are on average also more likely to oppose Trump’s policies than older Republicans.
The analysis also found that the level of education and region had no effect on the respondents’ beliefs about deployment.
Latinos and women are more likely to agree with Trump on humanitarian issues than their counterparts.
About 60% of middle-class women agreed with deporting undocumented immigrants, compared to 47% of moderate men. 45% of women believe Ice unfairly targets Latino communities.
The political party was further divided along ethnic lines when forced migration was extended to hospitals and schools. Forty-four percent of Latinos disapprove of the trend, compared to 26% of white respondents, and 46% of Latino respondents disapprove of the trend, compared to 30% of their white counterparts.
Trump had secured a crucial Latino vote that helped him win re-election last year. Democratic voters, however, took advantage of Latino voters in the polls earlier this month, showing a you may go away from gop.
The data could show Latino Republicans are “somewhat disillusioned” with the Trump Administration’s handling of Lawation, Mora said. “Latinos don’t just disagree on issues that we think are about the process and justice of the American judiciary. They also agree on just the idea that this is brutal.”
Mora said the flood of fireworks and sometimes violent encounters posted online can influence Republican perceptions around anger. Trainclothes agent he pointed his gun to a female driver in Santa Ana last week, too Two shootings involving ice agents It happened in southern California last month.
“Now you have several months of Latinos being able to go into their social media and see all kinds of videos of Latinos with or without documents,” Mora said. “I have to believe that does something for everybody, not just latino republicans or latino democrats.”
