Contributing sentiments towards policy:

46% : It is unclear how often ICE allows furloughs in run-of-the-mill cases, let alone a case like that of Khalil, where the White House has weighed in.
42% : Less than an hour after they made their request, Melissa Harper, director of the New Orleans field office of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, denied it.
41% : "This was a purposeful decision by ICE to make me, Mahmoud, and our son suffer," Abdalla said in a statement Monday.
