Battleground candidates scramble over Trump's expanded ICE
Original: Trump supercharged ICE. Now battleground candidates are scrambling for a message
President Trump has sharply expanded ICE's operations and enforcement powers, and candidates in competitive congressional and state races are struggling to land on a clear position. Some fear alienating voters who back tough immigration enforcement, while others face pressure from base voters opposed to mass deportations, leaving many campaigns with vague or shifting messages on the issue.
Why now: Immigration enforcement has become a politically risky issue for candidates in competitive races heading into the next election cycle.
