Majority Of Hispanic Voters Support Trump’s Deportation Policy, Poll Finds

A majority of Hispanic voters back core elements of the Trump administration’s deportation policy according to a poll released Monday that was conducted after the Los Angeles riots began.

Nearly six in 10 registered voters surveyed — including a majority of Hispanic voters and nearly half of voters under 25 — support the administration’s policy increasing the “pace of deportations … prioritizing individuals with criminal records,” according to an online poll from League of American Workers (LAW) and TechnoMetrica Institute of Policy and Politics (TIPP) obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Notably, 53% of Hispanic voters as well as 49% of voters between the ages of 18-24 indicated they somewhat or strongly supported increasing the pace of deportations, the LAW/TIPP poll found. President Donald Trump made significant gains in the 2024 election among young and Hispanic voters — particularly among men of both demographics.

Just under half — 46% — of black voters polled said they supported the policy. Black Americans have long backed the Democratic Party but trended to the right in the 2024 election in which Trump won over 20% black male voters, according to a CNN exit poll.

In addition, 65% of the survey’s total respondents — including 61% of its Hispanic respondents — agreed strongly or somewhat that Trump deserves credit for the fact that the number of “gotaways” at the border has decreased by approximately 95% relative to former President Joe Biden’s sole term. The poll included this statistic and defined “gotaways” as “individuals who illegally cross the border and are observed but not apprehended” in the question to its respondents.

The online poll was conducted days after violent riots against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) broke out in Los Angeles.

“As this polling makes clear, Americans chose Donald Trump precisely because of his America First approach to immigration, plus law-and-order generally,” LAW President Steve Cortes told the DCNF. “This survey reveals that violence and radicalism in Los Angeles and other cities only serves to reinforce the will of the people to achieve secure borders, orderly lawful migration, and peace in our streets.”
Cortes is a former senior advisor to both Trump and Vice President JD Vance, and he currently serves as the senior political advisor to political advocacy nonprofit CatholicVote.

LAW’s commissioned survey follows several polls and analyses which have found broad support for Trump’s immigration policies, including among groups that previously largely rejected such initiatives.
