Contributing sentiments towards policy:

72% : Laura Belin's been doing an awesome job keeping track of the situation with Dr. Ian Andre Roberts, the former Des Moines Public Schools superintendent who was detained by ICE on September 26 and resigned four days later.
58% : The school district found his explanation plausible (as I would have, given his impressive career and public standing).
51% : But I thought this could be a good start to catching some of the false claims that are being used to distract from how dystopian it is for ICE to be bragging about detaining a high-profile leader in the Des Moines community.
40% : Even according to the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement timeline (and we have to note that ICE has a recent history of being misleading if not dishonest), the "final order to deport" came in 2024.
