That's not actually true. YouGov's poll shows only 34% of Americans believe ICE's operations are making America safer: https://today.yougov.com/politics/articles/53878-more-americ...

Polling from them says about half of Americans have an unfavorable view of ICE, a far better rating than Congress, for example at 80% disapprove.

So you’ve got a swath of people who are fine with what ICE is doing, or don’t care to even make their dissatisfaction known via a survey, much less the ballot box or via a riot.

You said "Don’t forget half the population (within polling MOE) supports this, believing ICE/ removal operations are making America safer...".

That's not true. Barely a third of Americans believe that. Nearly half of Americans want ICE outright abolished.
