IGS Co-Director Mora co-authors a new UCLA study highlighted in LA Times showing California Republicans are divided on Trump’s immigration enforcement policies, IGS Poll finds

• 46% of Latino Republicans disagreed with deporting immigrants who have resided in the country for a long time, compared with 30% of their white counterparts.
