59% of Americans don't believe undocumented immigrants who have lived in the US for several years with no criminal record should be arrested and detained.

The claim that 59% of Americans do not believe undocumented immigrants who have lived in the US for several years without a criminal record should be arrested and detained aligns closely with recent polling data. According to a March 2025 Pew Research Center survey, a significant portion of Americans support deporting undocumented immigrants primarily if they have committed crimes, especially nonviolent ones.

Similarly, a Fox News poll from 2025 found that about 60% of respondents support deporting only those immigrants charged with crimes, indicating a reluctance to endorse arrest or detention of undocumented immigrants without criminal records. These findings reflect a broader trend in public opinion favoring more targeted immigration enforcement rather than broad arrests or detentions. While exact phrasing and percentages may vary slightly between polls, the general sentiment supports the claim's core assertion.

However, the claim does not specify the poll source or exact wording, which is important for precise verification.
