The question follows a Clark County Today opinion column examining whether immigration enforcement should be viewed as a legal duty rather than an act of racism
This poll stems from a Clark County Today opinion column by editor Ken Vance responding to recent ICE enforcement actions in Vancouver that drew public criticism and accusations of racism. The column centers on a cell phone video circulated locally showing ICE agents taking a man into custody, which prompted the Vancouver Police Department to open a traffic investigation and sparked strong community reaction. Vance references statements from Vancouver police, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and family members of those detained, while also addressing a separate Thanksgiving Day ICE arrest involving a Vancouver father. Acknowledging that not all individuals targeted by ICE are criminals, the column argues that immigration laws exist for a reason and that enforcing them — even when controversial — is lawful, legal, and necessary. The poll asks readers whether they agree with that position.
