Unfortunately, this was measured in late May and does not include all immigrant citizens nor does it look specifically at immigration policy. Still, it is good news for Trump if the numbers hold.
So what about latino support for immigration policies of Trump?
"Thirty-nine percent of Americans, including 35 percent of Hispanic Americans, approve of his handling of deportations."

As to the protests "Forty-four percent of Hispanic respondents said they disapprove of the protests, while 39 percent said they approve of them. An additional 17 percent were unsure how they felt."
So do a majority of Hispanics favor the GOP immigration policies? "“Foreign-born voters have gone tremendously to the Right on this issue in 2024 and 2025 versus where they were in 2020,” said Enten. “You go back to 2020, Democrats, get this, held a 32-point lead on this issue. Immigrant voters were in the Democratic camp. Jump forward to 2024, 2025. Look at that shift. A 40-point shift to the Right among immigrant voters.”
Interestingly, this article says the democrats lost their 32% advantage as 40% shifted. However, the article does not say if this is even a majority yet.

But it's not like 54% is very high,"
Regardless of the polls, the USA sure has managed a great turnaround since Shay's rebellion in 1786 Massachusetts. If you don't recall, the state government was not strong enough to put the rebellion down and other state's refused to help. Thus, Shay's rebellion demonstrated the need for a stronger confederation and often is cited as one of the reasons for drafting and passing the U.S. Constitution. 200 plus years later, and now we have the state
NOT wanting federal help but national soldiers are there in SPITE of the state. Funny how Trump never sent aid to a state that never declared it a disaster area. Sometimes he does not send aid to a state that requests it.
According to this article, Trump is once again seeking to expand the power of the Presidency. Should we be concerned if he stretches it too far? Perhaps because the next President might use the same precedent to put down another class or group of people. (you know like gun owners for instance). Here is one legal synopsis of Trump and the use of troops. It seems to concur that Trump needs to use the Insurrection Act which he thus far has avoided.

If anyone has poll numbers for Trump support on immigration from immigrant voters please post the link. I could not find anything but the 40% swing which is huge. I think it remains to be seen on the protests and meat packing plant raids where most of the unlawful are Hispanic.
