WASHINGTON, Jan 15 (Reuters) - President Donald Trump's Republicans are divided over ‌whether federal immigration officers should try harder to avoid hurting people following the shooting death of a community activist during an immigration raid, ‌according to a Reuters/Ipsos survey.

While 95% of Republicans continue to approve of Trump's performance as president, the poll conducted on Monday and ‌Tuesday suggests a significant slice of Trump's backers are wary of his administration's aggressive approach to immigration enforcement. The poll found American approval of Trump's approach to immigration at its lowest point since he returned to office a year ago.
