Latino Support for Trump Wanes Amid Immigration Crackdown

Support for President Trump among Latino voters who backed him in 2024 is declining sharply, driven by aggressive immigration enforcement and economic concerns. - A Pew Research poll shows approval among Latino Trump voters dropped from 93% to 66% between early 2025 and April 2026.

- Many Latino voters, like Sandra Ramirez and Albert Rodriguez in Phoenix, express regret over their 2024 vote, citing harsh ICE raids targeting ordinary people. - The shift could impact swing counties like Maricopa, Arizona, where Latinos make up a third of the population.

- Activists compare the nationwide crackdown to Arizona's controversial SB1070 law and Sheriff Joe Arpaio's past tactics. The erosion of Latino support poses a challenge for Republicans in upcoming midterms and the 2028 presidential race.
