A recent Siena College poll reveals a divided New York on President-elect Trump's proposed deportation plans. While a slight majority of New Yorkers support the state assisting federal deportation efforts, significant opposition remains, particularly among Democrats.

The poll indicates 54% of respondents favor state support for the Trump administration's plans to deport undocumented immigrants, while 35% oppose them. This support transcends geographical boundaries, with majorities in New York City, upstate, and downstate suburbs aligning with the proposal.

The poll highlights a stark partisan divide. While 87% of Republicans back Trump's plan, only 38% of Democrats agree, with 51% opposing it. Independent voters lean towards support, with 54% in favor and 30% against.

Data obtained by the New York Post from U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement shows that a notable portion of undocumented immigrants in New York City have prior criminal convictions or pending charges. This information adds another layer of complexity to the debate surrounding immigration policy.

Despite his hardline stance on deportations, Trump has expressed willingness to collaborate with Democrats on a plan for "Dreamers," undocumented immigrants brought to the U.S. as children. He acknowledges their contributions to society and the need to address their situation.
