A new RMG Research poll released Wednesday reveals robust American support for President Donald Trump’s tough immigration enforcement measures in Los Angeles, reflecting the nation’s yearning for law and order. Conducted June 9 with 1,000 registered voters, the poll shows 58% of Americans approve of the administration’s efforts to deport illegal aliens, with 34% expressing strong support.
This clear majority points to the public’s demand for stringent immigration policies to address illegal crossings and restore national security. Only 37% oppose the actions, highlighting a growing consensus around Trump’s approach. The poll’s findings affirm that Americans are fed up with lax enforcement and want a government that prioritizes legal immigration and public safety.
When asked about the scale of deportations, 30% of respondents said the administration hasn’t gone “far enough,” compared to 36% who felt it went “too far” and 25% who called it “just right.”
This suggests a significant portion of the public craves even tougher measures, reinforcing Trump’s mandate to crack down on illegal immigration. The poll exposed a stark partisan divide, with 86% of Republicans and 45% of independents backing deportations, while only 26% of Democrats agreed. Independents’ lean toward support signals broad appeal for Trump’s policies among voters prioritizing order over open borders.
National Guard Deployment Wins Public Approval
The poll also highlights strong American backing for Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard to quell riots in Los Angeles, with 52% approving and 30% strongly supporting the move.
The riots erupted last Friday after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations targeted a conspiracy involving “money laundering, tax evasion, and customs fraud,” according to border czar Tom Homan.
The Department of Homeland Security reported Saturday that over 1,000 rioters attacked a federal building, assaulted ICE officers, slashed tires, and vandalized property, with the Los Angeles Police Department taking two hours to respond.
Trump’s swift deployment of the National Guard on Sunday, bolstered by U.S. Marines, restored order, earning praise from Americans who value decisive leadership in times of crisis.
The public’s approval reflects a deep-seated desire for stability and respect for law enforcement, especially as local leaders like California Governor Gavin Newsom have faltered. Newsom’s opposition to the National Guard’s presence, including his failed attempt to limit their use through a lawsuit, has been seen as undermining federal efforts to protect citizens and property.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee, rejected Newsom’s request on Tuesday, scheduling a hearing for Thursday, but the swift denial reinforces the legitimacy of Trump’s actions in the eyes of a public weary of political obstructionism.
Trump’s Leadership Meets Americans’ Call for Order
The RMG Research poll underscores that Americans are rallying behind Trump’s commitment to enforcing immigration laws and restoring peace in chaotic cities like Los Angeles. The riots, fueled by resistance to lawful ICE operations, exposed the consequences of weak local governance, with Newsom’s delayed response and legal challenges only deepening public frustration.
Trump’s proactive measures—deporting criminal illegal aliens and deploying federal forces—resonate with a nation demanding accountability and security at its borders.
The 58% approval for deportations and 52% for National Guard use signal that Americans want a leader who acts decisively to protect their communities, not one who coddles lawbreakers or tolerates violence.
As Trump continues to face resistance from Democrat leaders like Newsom, the poll makes clear that his policies align with the will of a majority seeking law and order.
The public’s strong support for his immigration crackdown and federal intervention in Los Angeles reflects a call for a government that upholds the rule of law and prioritizes the safety and prosperity of American citizens above all else.
