A month after announcing its first funding round and debut insurance product, Stand is seeing a huge surge in interest due to the LA wildfires.

Most U.S. adults (9 in 10 Republicans and close to half of Democrats) say they support mass deportations of immigrants living in the country illegally — but that enthusiasm quickly erodes when presented with options over how to carry them out, according to a new Axios-Ipsos poll.

Why it matters: President-elect Trump has vowed to initiate one of the "largest mass deportations in U.S. history" starting early in his return to the White House. Beyond the logistical obstacles, costs and possible pain to the U.S. economy, the survey suggests Americans could quickly sour on deportations depending on how they are carried out.

---

By the numbers: Two-thirds of all Americans surveyed said they support deporting immigrants who are in the country illegally.

• Among Republicans, support was at 93%, followed by 67% for independents and 43% for Democrats.
• But just 38% of Americans support using active-duty military to find and detain undocumented immigrants in U.S. cities and towns; and only 28% want to use money allocated for the military to pay for deportations.
• Just one in three endorse separating families or sending people to countries other than their country of origin in the interest of speed. And just one in three support deporting those who came to the U.S. as children.
• The trends largely track with findings from a Ipsos-Syracuse University poll from November from which the questions were replicated. But the new survey shows even less support for use of active-duty military, or military funds, than the survey from two months ago.

What they're saying: "There's essentially broad agreement with Trump's position on these topics, but as soon as you start pushing into specifics, a lot of that dissipates," said Chris Jackson, Ipsos pollster and senior vice president.

• The concept of mass deportations may work better for Trump in the abstract than in reality, Jackson said. "Immigration, in reality, is complicated, messy and difficult."
• "The real question is going to be... does that level of support maintain or fragment as they confront the reality of what it means."

The other side: About one in 10 Americans — and close to 1 in 5 Republicans — said they'd support deporting immigrants who are in the country lawfully.

Context: Trump has said he would use the military to round up undocumented immigrants and would consider putting them into camps.

• Trump also has said he would deport American citizens if that means it would keep families together since he wanted to deport their undocumented parents or spouses.
• And he has indicated interest in deporting Haitian immigrants who currently have Temporary Protected Status.

The bottom line: To remove a sizable proportion of the estimated 11 million or more undocumented immigrants from the country, Trump would need not only broad but sustained public support.

Methodology: This Axios/Ipsos Poll was conducted Jan. 10-12, 2025, by Ipsos' KnowledgePanel®. This poll is based on a nationally representative probability sample of 1,025 U.S. adults age 18 or older.

• The margin of sampling error is ±3.2 percentage points at the 95% confidence level, for results based on the entire sample.

• Tiffany Trump has been in the public eye her entire life thanks to her famous father.
• Her style evolved as she went from socialite to first daughter when Donald Trump became president.
• She often blends professional and laid-back looks.

As Donald Trump returns to the White House, his youngest daughter, Tiffany Trump, 31, is expected to remain distanced from politics as she did during her father's first term.

Although her role — or lack thereof — in the Trump administration isn't changing, Tiffany's life has changed pretty dramatically since her father first took office. She graduated from college, entered law school, got married, and is expecting her first child.

Tiffany's personal style has also transformed since she first entered the public eye.

Take a look at her fashion evolution, from her time as a New York socialite to her life as a first daughter.

Meta is done playing nice

The social media giant internally announced plans to cut 5% of its workforce, focusing on its lowest-performing employees. It's a more aggressive approach to workforce management but one Amazon has embraced for years.

It also marks a departure from Silicon Valley's traditional talent retention strategy, where tech companies overpaid workers to steer them away from competition. Now, lean, high-performing teams appear to be the new Big Tech trend as companies like Microsoft and Google look to make similar performance-based job cuts.

On Fridays, WFH means OOO

Instead of one last push before the weekend, "quiet Fridays" are becoming a sneaky personal day for some remote workers.

The four-day workweek dream remains out of reach for many, but fed-up remote workers are taking back the day for themselves. Fridays also remain the least popular day to commute, even as office attendance creeps back up.

Three-day weekend, every weekend.

'If I'm being brutally honest'

Anthony Scaramucci is a vocal Trump critic. The hedge-fund founder, also known for his 11-day stint in Trump's first administration, hasn't held back on the former president.

Even so, Scaramucci predicts a sunny economy under the president-elect. He told BI that pro-growth policies like Trump's tax plan and potential clarity on crypto legislation are boons for the country.

But he's still worried about some of Trump's other moves.

The world's worst career advice

Business Insider's Alistair Barr was an editor at Bloomberg in 2016 when his reporter Jack Clark told him he was quitting to work at OpenAI. At the time, it was a relatively obscure nonprofit that was less than a year old.

Barr told him it wasn't a good idea. Clark had a pretty stable job as a reporter on Bloomberg's Big Tech team and OpenAI didn't seem to have a clear direction. In the end, Clark ignored him and went to OpenAI anyway.

Now, he's set to become a billionaire.

• Light unveiled its Light Phone 3 with a new back camera feature.
• "Dumb phones" have targeted users seeking a break from high-tech gadgets.
• Intentional tech use will be on the rise in 2025, Amazon's Werner Vogels said.

"Dumb phones" are devices with much less functionality than the typical smartphone. However, they still have a high-tech feature that their users can't stand to lose.

Light announced the third iteration of its simplified cellphone in June 2024. It doesn't look much different from its predecessor, which started shipping in 2019, and the company says it didn't change much in terms of software.

It spent most of its time and resources on introducing a particular aspect of the Light Phone 3: the back camera.

The new Light Phone is "a little bit bigger, a little bit faster, and a slightly different screen, but the camera is definitely the new feature," Joe Hollier, the cofounder of Light, told Business Insider.

The Light Phone 3 can call and text and has smarter features such as fingerprint ID, rear- and front-facing cameras, and the potential to support a digital wallet, the company said.

The other available tools, according to the company, include an alarm, a timer, a calculator, a calendar, a directory, directions, notes/voice memo. There's the option to add music and podcasts to the device by connecting to a computer and downloading them from the Light website.

Smartphone makers have also been working on improving their cameras. Apple's latest phone lineup, the iPhone 16, has an "Ultra Wide" camera and autofocus for photos that can be edited using AI. Samsung's Galaxy S24 Ultra has an AI-powered camera that can improve low-light photography.

Light doesn't expect their new camera to compete with an iPhone, which Hollier acknowledged can shoot commercials, but it's a "very intentional" tool, he said.

It saw a need to add a new camera with a "nostalgia feel." Hollier said his interest in film photography was a "North Star" for the Light Phone 3's new back camera. Photos from the dumb phone don't look quite as clear as those from the iPhone, but Hollier said they weren't designed to be.

Users have turned to dumb phones for a break from the bright and colorful smartphone displays and all the distractions they offer. That's similar to a trend Amazon CTO Werner Vogels highlighted for 2025. As artificial intelligence charges ahead, people will turn to more intentional tech use, Vogels wrote in a blogpost.

Although Hollier said adult Gen Zers are becoming more interested in dumb phones, it remains the smallest portion of its user base at 12%. However, their older siblings, Zillennials between the ages of 25 and 34, make up 38% of Light Phone users.

Light has set out to reduce the "infinite feed," as Hollier put it, by guaranteeing that its phones will never have email, social media, or an internet browser. The company treads a careful line when deciding what to offer in Light Phones.

That's at odds with the many companies trying to evolve by incorporating AI into their operations. Apple launched Apple Intelligence in 2024, and Samsung's S24 is a lineup of AI-powered phones. Hollier said Light has no current plans to bring AI to its phones.

The Light Phone 3 is available for preorder for $599 as of January 16— a $200 discount from its retail price. Shipping is expected to begin in May.

• Billy Busch is an heir to the Anheuser-Busch multi-billion-dollar fortune.
• He said he learned through manual labor on his family's farm full of exotic animals.
• His inheritance plan is designed to avoid family feuds like those that embroiled his siblings.

This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Billy Busch, founder of the Busch Family Brewing & Distilling Company and author of "Family Reins: The Extraordinary Rise and Epic Fall of an American Dynasty." It has been edited for length and clarity.

I learned the value of hard work laboring on my parents' farm. But their farm was no typical operation. Grant's Farm was a sprawling estate that had been home to my family since 1903. In 1954, my parents opened it up to the public to promote their brands.

The farm had elephants, monkeys, and almost any other animal you could imagine. It was also home to the famous Clydesdale horses, which were intertwined with Budweiser thanks to my Dad's brilliant marketing.

My siblings and I were charged with maintaining the farm, keeping it beautiful so that when the public came through they would see a place that was well taken care of. On a typical day, I might go from slopping out the pig pen to running elephant shows. The reputation of the Anheuser-Busch brand was always top of mind for my parents, especially my father. The business was his love, and he felt a huge responsibility for the legacy left by his father and grandfather.

My parents kept us grounded through farm work

My parents didn't talk much about money, but we understood it should never be wasted. There was a sense that even a great fortune could be lost if we didn't care for it. I learned to always turn the lights off so I didn't rack up the electric bill.

My parents wanted my siblings and me to be grounded. My dad was always in favor of getting us up early to do chores. He wanted us to know it took hard work to build anything, much less a dynasty.

My parents didn't just teach us to do what we were asked — they wanted us to do twice what we were asked. Anything we do should be done to perfection. That was very important to them.

In addition to these lessons, I learned a lot about hard work from the employees on the farm. My parents were running a massive business, so it sometimes felt like I was raised by the workers around us. Our farm manager worked for Grant's Farm for more than 50 years and had a huge influence on me, teaching me about plants, animals, and machinery.

I had a trust to live off so I could pursue my passions

My dad had 11 kids, including five sons. It was always assumed that his oldest son, my half-brother, would take over the business. My oldest full brother was also groomed to be involved with Anheuser-Busch. I was never pressured to work in the brewery.

When I was 18, my father gave me a trust. It was enough money that I could live on it comfortably, which freed me to work in areas that I was passionate about. I went to the University of Missouri to study agriculture and animal husbandry. I also became a champion polo player, sponsored by Anheuser-Busch.

Later, I invested in a bar business and a distribution company, where I worked in the warehouse and drove trucks. It was very interesting learning about a different aspect of my family business.

I received the rest of my inheritance in 1989 when my father died. I was about 30.

Luck of the draw will determine my children's inheritance

I took a similar approach to inheritance with my seven kids, who range in age from 18 to 33. When they turned 18 they received a small trust that they could use for investing or starting a business.

I want my children to be financially intelligent and understand hard work. I've taught them about investing. I want them to have a trusted team around them but to always make their own financial decisions. When you rely on someone else to make your decisions for you, you're setting yourself up for a big mistake.

My dad's will caused strife between my siblings and me that we still haven't recovered from. I wanted to create a very black-and-white inheritance plan. That's hard, but I know it will save my children a lot of heartache and lawyer's bills in the future.

I'm heavily invested in land. So, I've split my land assets up into seven parcels. When I pass, each of my children will pull a number from a hat, and that will decide what parcel they get. I hope that will lead to no arguments, and an inheritance that's as even as possible.

• I was a helicopter parent to my firstborn but learned that it wasn't the best approach.
• My firstborn was frustrated, anxious, and struggled to do simple tasks.
• I started implementing age-appropriate independence and my three kids are better for it.

It's been nine years, but I can still clearly remember the first time we got a bike for my 2-year-old son. What was supposed to be an exciting new milestone turned into a disappointment.

Being a first-time mom who was consumed by "what ifs," I let my overprotective instincts take over. Despite his protests, I loaded him up with protective gear from head to toe — knee pads, elbow pads, a padded vest and shorts, and a fitted helmet.

After just a few minutes of riding, he frustratingly told me that he wanted to go inside because all the padding was making him uncomfortable.

That bike ride was just one of countless examples of my helicopter parenting. I decided what he would eat and wear, and who he would befriend. I made sure he didn't mingle with strangers and was always quick to jump in to help, even unprompted.

I thought this was how a mother's love should be, not realizing how it would impact his emotional growth years later.

My need to control was ruining his joy in exploring and trying new things

As he grew older, my eldest struggled to make simple decisions, like choosing new clothes, and he was often a bit too anxious about hypothetical scenarios, like what if our car ran out of fuel in a deserted area.

He lost interest in reading because we would always read what I chose for him. Even ordering meals when we went out was tough because he felt uncomfortable speaking to unfamiliar people.

My apprehensions kept causing hindrances for him, until one day, he couldn't hold back anymore.

"Mama, you won't ever let me do anything on my own," he cried after I stopped him from playing football with a few unknown kids at the park.

Hearing that was painful but necessary. I realized I needed to make a change for him and my secondborn.

I started with small, subtle changes

I loosed the reins and started giving my eldest the freedom to choose what to wear, eat, and read. I also stopped saying no so often, especially when he offered to help.

Some changes came more slowly than others. His anxiety over hypotheticals, for example, diminished pretty quickly.

However, it took years for him to build up his self-confidence starting with small activities like helping me fold laundry and make sandwiches for him and his little brother.

It didn't matter if his attempts were imperfect, I made a point to praise and thank him. And I stopped helping him all of the time.

Once, he was struggling to make a bridge with his engineering toy set. It kept collapsing, but I resisted the urge to help and watched instead. Eventually, he figured out what was wrong and built a sturdy bridge all by himself. His face lit up with pride.

Milestones like these made me realize the value of loosening the reins so that my kids could experience struggle and learn resilience by themselves.

My eldest, now 11, is a confident, caring big brother for his siblings. He is the wisest when it comes to spending his allowance. He makes well-thought-out choices, and his adventurous restaurant orders always bring a smile to our faces.

All of my children became more confident as I changed my parenting style

My younger kids also benefit from the lessons I learned raising my eldest. I became a more relaxed parent.

I allowed my secondborn to mingle with unfamiliar kids when he wanted and to choose his own clothes and books.

As a result, from a very young age, my secondborn was not scared of risks like trying new rides and foods. He makes friends quickly and even helps new classmates who struggle to adapt.

My youngest, my 3-year-old, surprises us with her strong will, crystal-clear choices, and self-assured demeanor at such a young age.

My eldest taught me the importance of endorsing age-appropriate independence over helicopter parenting, and because of that, I've had the joy of watching my kids thrive as they grow up.
