The poll also documents rising anxiety and negative assessments — 52% worry they or someone close could be deported, many report recent local immigration raids or knowing someone detained or deported, 68% say Hispanics are worse off under Trump’s second term and about four‑in‑five say his policies harm Hispanics, with notable partisan and origin-group splits.
