ICE is nice: AmFest attendees overwhelmingly call for DHS to target their hometowns as Dems spurn agents

From Milwaukee to Maui, AmericaFest attendees told Fox News Digital they back DHS' "mass deportation" push and said they would welcome ICE operations in their own hometowns.

"We need to get the illegals out because they are taking all our services that should be for the people who really need it," Karen said.

"We need to clean up the city. It's such a dump over there," added Christina, who attends college in Illinois.

Turning to their own governor, Democrat Tony Evers, who was recently lambasted for refusing to allow the USDA to audit his SNAP rolls, Karen said he was committing "gross negligence" and suggested many Wisconsinites would support studying whether illegal immigrants are on the rolls.

"When he comes out after playing pickleball, he usually says a word or two, and that's about it," she said.

"I feel much safer. I feel that they're trying to get a handle on control of the situation that was totally out of hand and unsustainable," she said.

Nick from Nashville told Fox News Digital he would support further immigration operations in Tennessee after ICE already targeted Memphis, several hours to the west on I-40.

"And, so, with that happening, there's a lot more illegal immigrants. And, so, I think ICE definitely needs to come to Nashville because the mayor is not trying to support what so many people around Nashville and Davidson County want," Nick said.

"We don't need to have any illegal immigrants in here taking our jobs and making our country unsafe. We need [immigration] done legally and make sure that we're protecting our own country and our own people," she said.

Amy from Michigan said she would support ICE in her hometown and, like attendees from Wisconsin, criticized Chicago for refusing to cooperate with federal enforcement operations.

"As long as they're doing their job correctly, I'm 100% supportive," she said.

"One hundred percent," she quipped.

"Our work, under the leadership of Mayor O'Connell, has led to reductions in violent crime in our city not seen in decades, with crime down in every major category and in every police precinct in Nashville," Julie Smith said.

Pritzker's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
