"A new poll has found that almost half of Americans disapprove of the new "Alligator Alcatraz" set up in the Florida Everglades to house undocumented migrants detained by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
In all, 48 percent of the 2,983 people who responded to the YouGov survey on Thursday said they were not in favor of the facility while just 33 percent said they supported it, with another 18 percent unsure.
While Republicans and Democrats were largely split along party lines, just 26 percent of respondents who identified themselves as independent voters said they backed the idea while 53 percent were against it.
Another noteworthy finding from YouGov's poll was the revelation that 47 percent of Americans believe detainees are being treated too severely by ICE while 23 percent said they were being treated appropriately, 10 percent they were not being treated harshly enough, with the remainder unsure."
