“Influential figures on the right have largely cheered on the opening months of the Trump presidency,” the New York Times reports.

“But as the administration has rushed to carry out deportations as quickly as possible, making mistakes and raising concerns about due process along the way, the unified front in favor of President Trump’s immigration purge is beginning to crack.”

"While some conservatives have spoken out, few elected Republicans have done so. The Republican mayor of Springfield, Ohio, told Newsweek that abrupt deportations were harmful to his community, but G.O.P. members of Congress have largely cheered on Mr. Trump’s moves."

Joe Rogan and Ann Coulter are the ones who are against some Trump's policies. They are not the "influential figures" mentioned in the article.
