Trump’s approval on immigration drops among AAPI adults, new AAPI Data/AP-NORC poll finds

About 70% of AAPI adults disapprove of Trump’s immigration policies amid increased deportations and controversial enforcement tactics, a new poll reveals.

  • A new AAPI Data/AP-NORC poll finds about 7 in 10 Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults disapprove of President Donald Trump's immigration approach, up from 58% in March.
  • Poll respondents say a solid majority of Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander adults believe President Donald Trump has overstepped on deportations and oppose military and National Guard arrests or workplace detentions.
  • Federal immigration agents expanded a Chicago-area crackdown where more than 1,000 immigrants have been arrested since last month, and videos of ICE officers wearing masks rattled Michael Ida, 56-year-old Honolulu resident.
  • Data shows nativity shapes policy preferences within the AAPI community, as just over half of foreign-born AAPI adults support misdemeanor deportations versus 41% of American-born AAPI adults, though both groups equally see Trump as overstepping.
  • Some respondents worry about losing citizenship and describe Trump's methods as `punitive`, while Karthick Ramakrishnan, AAPI Data executive director and University of California, Berkeley researcher, said they see a gap between policy theory and practice.
