AmericaFest attendees speak out on ICE operations

Fox News Digital spoke to AmericaFest attendees in Phoenix about whether they'd support immigration enforcement operations in their hometowns.

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.

Mother and daughter Karen and Christina from Milwaukee said they wholeheartedly support ICE’s operations, particularly in nearby Chicago.

"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.

Looking south, they faulted Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker for not welcoming federal assistance, saying Springfield is trying to pass "all these weird laws" to create roadblocks for them.

"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.
