ICE Polling and Troops Debate: Enten’s Numbers, Schneider’s Pushback, Shutdown Stakes | CNN2.0

📊 Harry Enten finds just 42% back sending National Guard into cities like Portland while 58% oppose, including 64% of independents, and notes Trump’s prior Guard deployment correlated with drops in overall and immigration approval ratings
🧊 ICE sentiment has deteriorated, with net favorability falling from roughly neutral in Trump’s first term to −14 and near‑bottom among federal agencies in recent Pew rankings, undercutting the politics of crackdowns, Enten says
🪖 Oregon sues to block Guard deployment; Rep. Brad Schneider argues expanded ICE raids and potential troop deployments provoke fear, aren’t needed by state leaders, and mirror a “totalitarian playbook” to justify harsher steps
🏛️ Shutdown brink: Schneider urges Democrats to stand firm on health costs and programs Congress authorized, saying the President’s late‑stage bargaining and threats of mass firings put essential services at risk
🌍 Gaza plan context: Schneider sees hope in a 21‑point ceasefire‑hostage‑governance framework but warns details and legitimacy are decisive for a durable post‑Hamas future, aligning with Abraham Accords aspirations
🔎 What to watch: Portland court fight, Chicago deployment signals, fresh ICE polling, Hill math on a CR, and clarity on sequencing and guarantors in any Gaza deal
