A Quinnipiac poll shows that 66% of voters oppose the Trump's administration separating immigrant children from their parents, and 79% support DACA recipients staying in the country and applying for citizenship.
Why it matters: Republicans running for Congress are already facing tough odds at keeping control of the House. The growing opposition to immigration policies under President Trump and his party could hurt them in November.
What they're saying: A Republican operative who's helping GOP candidates get elected to Congress told NBC News that "the images are devastating" and this issue will "absolutely" hurt their chances in the midterms.
Be smart: Many top Republican lawmakers have been speaking out against this immigration policy.
The bottom line: The midterm election was already a referendum on the GOP and Trump. Whether they disagree with the ongoing immigration decisions or they're not happy with the Republican tax plan, voters will take these issues to the polls.
