2. Last poll I saw

A plurality supports abolishing ICE including self-described moderates as well as Independents.

ICE is about 20 years old so it is very young for something that already needs to be "reformed". I support abolishing it and always have since 2018 but even more so since the Trump administration.

Found the poll:

Today more Americans support than oppose abolishing ICE (YouGov)

(snip)

Opposition to ICE has grown in January

More Americans support than oppose abolishing ICE (46% vs. 41%). This marks a slight increase from earlier this month, when three YouGov polls found that the share of Americans who supported eliminating ICE as a federal agency was roughly equal to the share who opposed it: 46% to 43% in one poll, 42% vs. 45% in another, and 45% vs. 45% in a third.

Democrats overwhelmingly support eliminating ICE (76% vs. 15%), as do nearly half of Independents (47% vs. 35%). Most Republicans (73%) continue to oppose abolishing ICE. Only 19% of Republicans support eliminating the agency, but that's a higher level than in any of the polls from earlier this month.
