The way I read these polling trends is that there is still support for securing the border and arresting & deporting illegal aliens with criminal histories.
The latest polls suggest that the change in immigration enforcement tactics from prioritizing illegal aliens with criminal histories to arresting as many as possible, including those with no criminal histories, has negatively impacted support for the President's immigration policies.

I would be very interested to hear your professional opinion on this subject, Jack; I'm sure many of your readers would.
While I have no way to determine the veracity of such polling numbers on popular support for deportation policy, there are several problematic issues that need to be addressed:
1. Is it really true that mainstream media is losing broad public trust? If so, then why do ICE raids that net harmless illegals generate more opprobrium than the violent attacks on ICE officers by "mostly peaceful" illegals and their domestic supporters?
2. How can ICE give the appearance of legitimacy without subjecting their officers to doxxing risk? Is doxxing as prevalent as the govt says? Could penalties for doxxing be increased to a point that will mostly eliminate the threat?
3. Is there a way to explain to the public that with 20-30 million illegals in America, individual trials are not possible? As some conservative commenters have opined, you entered without due process, you can be removed without due process.
4. I think the govt needs more rational explanation of why illegals are being deported to prisons in El Salvador, which is reminiscent of Guantanamo. Is that because their home countries won't take them back if they don't have proof of national origin? Or their home countries consider them a threat that they'd rather have removed to a politically expedient memory hole? I don't know if explaining all that would make people feel differently, but avoiding it is also a problem. So is Trump saying that maybe we could send some of our native-born criminals to El Salvador.
While it is obvious that it's much easier to sweep up low-hanging fruit in ICE raids [ag workers and migrants who show up for court hearings], it's not a good look.
So far the left has succeeded in dominating the narrative, but that should be countered in public forums. Why has Mayorkas not been forced to testify about his border policy before Congress? Why have sanctuary city mayors and their state governors not been made to explain why they're secretly spending tax revenues on harboring illegals, often providing them better services than natives and legal immigrants? Why isn't the govt working harder to document the links between politicians and the owners of hotels that are getting massive windfalls from housing illegals, and businesses that provide food and other services to these migrant hotels?
And perhaps most importantly, the opaque quangos that organize mass immigration here and in Europe, to the detriment of taxpayers who are unknowingly funding them...
Sorry, too many questions for a fine Sunday morning!
You arrived at the heart of the matter by stating, "While it is obvious that it's much easier to sweep up low-hanging fruit in ICE raids [ag workers and migrants who show up for court hearings], it's not a good look."
Polls showed President Trump with higher levels of support when ICE was prioritizing arrests of illegal aliens with criminal records. After Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem made it clear to ICE that the goal was a record number of arrests, ICE went after those without criminal records (who are easier to find) instead. That's when the poll numbers started weakening, and here we are.

I'm highly skeptical of most pollsters, with CNN being close to the bottom of the barrel - Fox usually gets it wildly wrong too. Only the fully independent organizations seem get these kind of polls right. I'll see how things look a year from now, and maybe check a few more trustworthy sources, before I take this one too seriously.
Absolutely not true. How could we not want these awful criminals deported?

Gallup also noted this shift when they polled more than 1,400 Americans in June. You can read more on that @ https://www.usbordernews.com/p/us-opinion-shift-on-immigration
