The Tempos of the world will again overreach
https://share.google/ToARPmMg96uPG4QyfThe strongest opposition to federal enforcement and support for the city’s sanctuary policy was among people who were white, wealthier and living on the city’s North Side, the survey found.

In the poll, 74.3% of people living in the north-central part of the city said they thought recent immigration enforcement activities had gone too far, while 79.3% of people with incomes above $100,000 reported the same. The feds conducted raids in Lakeview and Lincoln Park in late October, deploying tear gas on a residential street. Meanwhile, only 53.4% of respondents who reported earning $30,000 or less annually — a segment of society the Trump administration has long argued has seen their job prospects hurt by immigration — said they believed the Trump administration had gone too far in immigration enforcement.
For people over the age of 75, a generation that grew up in the wake of World War II and during the Civil Rights movement, 76.4% similarly believed enforcement went “too far.” That was the highest opposition among any age group over 18.

There was a 20-point gap between white and Black respondents who thought enforcement had “gone too far” — 75.5% versus 55.6%. For Hispanic respondents, that figure was 62.5%.
Asked how strongly they supported the city’s ordinance “that limits city agencies and employees from cooperating with federal civil immigration enforcement,” 75.5% of white respondents said they strongly or somewhat supported it, while 44.7% of Black and 52.1% of Hispanic respondents said the same.
Black and Hispanic respondents were also more ambivalent about the city’s ordinance barring cooperation with federal immigration enforcement actions. A total of 40.5% of Black respondents and 33.7% of Hispanic respondents reported being unsure whether they supported the sanctuary policy, or that they neither supported nor opposed it.
