Roughly two-thirds of Mainers support some reforms to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, according to a new independent poll released Wednesday.

The results of the survey, which was conducted by the University of New Hampshire, provide a detailed look at how Maine residents feel about ICE following a surge in immigration enforcement here last month.

The survey gauged the views of 1,162 Maine residents between Feb. 12 and 16. The margin of sampling error is plus or minus 2.9 percentage points, according to the university’s report on the poll.

A majority of the Mainers polled supported a list of proposed reforms for the federal agency, including banning ICE agents from entering churches and schools, prohibiting them from wearing face coverings, and not allowing them to make arrests without a judicial warrant, according to the poll.

Almost all Democrats said they supported those reforms, as did roughly 60% of independents. Thirty-six percent of Republicans surveyed supported prohibiting agents from entering churches and schools, while only 12% supported requiring judicial warrants and 11% backed a ban on masks.

Overall, 69% of respondents supported a ban on agents in churches and schools, while 57% favored a ban on masks and 57% backed a requirement for judicial warrants.

Andrew Smith, the director of UNH’s survey center, said in a phone interview Wednesday that people’s opinions on immigration enforcement are clearly being driven by partisanship.

“You can see that even in the State of the Union address (Tuesday), while Democrats were listening aghast at what Trump was saying about immigration, Republicans are cheering him on,” Smith said. “So that difference is meaningful.”

Still, Smith said, most people don’t seem to want police enforcement in schools or churches, “regardless of what the issue is.”

About half of Maine respondents contend that ICE actions under Trump have made the country less safe. But their responses fell largely along party lines: 95% of Democrats say ICE is making the country less safe, while 91% of Republicans say the country is safer. Independents were evenly split, with 44% said ICE has made the country safer, 44% saying the agency has made the country less safe and 11% saying there has been little or no difference.

The survey also showed Mainers are divided on whether ICE should be abolished entirely, with 49% favoring such a move and 46% against it. A total of 82% of Democrats and 58% of independents polled say they support dismantling the agency, while 86% of Republicans said they oppose it.

About 65% of those polled say illegal immigration is a serious problem in the country. Half of those surveyed said it’s a serious problem in Maine, while only a third said it’s a serious problem in their town or city, according to the poll.

Smith noted that most people don’t see issues with immigration in their own neighborhoods, including in communities that have significant immigrant populations, even though many cite it as an issue nationally.

Maine residents haven’t significantly changed their opinions of Trump’s handling of immigration since they were last surveyed in December, the report showed, with 57% of those polled disapproving of Trump’s immigration efforts and 42% approving.

Trump’s overall support in Maine remains in the negatives, with 56% of those polled saying they disapprove of his presidency compared to 43% approving. The vast majority of Republicans — 93% — think Trump is doing a good job, but only 40% of independents and just 1% of Democrats agree.

Respondents who approve of Trump’s job performance most often cited his handling of immigration enforcement as their top reason for supporting him, while those disapproving cited undermining democracy and the Constitution, followed closely by “poor character.”
