Description

The question of what to do about undocumented immigrants has long bonded President Trump and his supporters — and an overwhelming majority of them backed his all-out crackdown over the past year.

But then came the extraordinary events of the past few weeks in Minneapolis. Since then, some of Mr. Trump’s voters have begun to have misgivings about his agenda.

“The Daily” spoke with more than a dozen people who voted for him in the last election about how they are making sense of the recent events in Minneapolis.
