Latest polls show that Republican voters remain generally supportive of the Trump administration's tough approach to immigration enforcement, but there has been a limited yet identifiable softening within the party following the killing of two protesters by federal officers in Minneapolis. Results from Ipsos and the Pew Research Center show that most Republicans still believe law enforcement is "just right" or "not tough enough," but the proportion of Republican respondents who believe enforcement is "excessive" has significantly increased. At the same time, independent voters are more generally convinced that immigration enforcement has gotten out of control. Analysts say that while the immigration issue remains a core mobilizing tool for the Trump camp, lethal enforcement incidents are eroding some internal consensus and could potentially widen the party's ideological divide in the future.
