Summary
As the Trump administration intensifies immigration enforcement, public concern in the United States has grown. A majority of Americans (53%) now say the administration is doing “too much” when it comes to deporting immigrants living in the country illegally, up from 44% in March, according to a Pew Research Center survey conducted in October 2025. Despite this, most Americans still believe that at least some undocumented immigrants should be deported.

Overall, half of U.S. adults disapprove of the administration’s approach to immigration, while 39% approve. The view that deportations have gone too far has increased across political and racial groups, particularly among Democrats, 86% of whom say the administration is doing too much. While fewer Republicans share this view, the share has also risen, especially among Hispanic Republicans.

Opinions on who should be deported differ sharply by party. A majority of Republicans believe all undocumented immigrants should be deported, whereas most Democrats say only some should be, and a sizable minority say none should be deported. Within both parties, Hispanic adults are more likely than other racial and ethnic groups to oppose deportations altogether.

Concerns about the personal impact of deportations have also increased. About a quarter of Americans worry that they or someone close to them could be deported, with concern especially high among Democrats and Latinos. Many Latino respondents report increased immigration enforcement activity in their communities, contributing to heightened anxiety.

Overall, the findings show a growing gap between support for enforcement in principle and discomfort with the scale and intensity of current deportation practices, particularly among minority communities.
