- A new AP-NORC poll reveals that immigration remains President Donald Trump's strongest issue, with about 8 in 10 Republicans approving of his handling, even as overall public support has declined to 39%.

- A wide partisan split persists, as about 6 in 10 Republicans approve of the agency's approach compared to just 4% of Democrats, highlighting deep political polarization on the administration's enforcement strategy.
