Half Say Trump Does 'Too Much' on Deportations

A majority of U.S. adults (52%) told a Pew survey in April 2026 that the Trump administration is doing 'too much' to deport immigrants living in the country illegally, a level little changed since late 2025. At the same time, the share saying the administration is doing 'too little' has crept up (to 15% overall and 28% among Republicans), signaling a small but notable hardening of enforcement preferences within the GOP. — This finding signals a ceiling on broad public appetite for aggressive deportation policies while highlighting a rising intra‑party push for tougher enforcement that could shape Republican messaging and policymaking.
