Trump says immigration crackdown was 'too tough' and played part in midterms defeat
Trump said the crackdown may have cost Republicans support, while opening the door to a possible immigration deal with Democrats.
- On Sunday, November 8, 2026, President Donald Trump told CBS' 60 Minutes that his mass deportation policy was "too tough," acknowledging it may have contributed to Republican losses in last Tuesday's midterm elections.
- Republicans suffered heavy losses in the midterm elections on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, as officials attributed the defeat primarily to voter dissatisfaction with economic policies and the war with Iran.
- Despite Trump's softer tone, Immigration and Customs Enforcement remains under strict orders to lock in roughly 19,000 arrests weekly, or about 2,700 people daily, officials told CBS News.
- Signaling no policy slowdown, President Trump appointed immigration hawk Stephen Miller as White House chief of staff on Friday, November 6, 2026, days before the interview aired.
- Starting January 3, 2027, Democrats will control Congress, armed with subpoena power and committee gavels to investigate enforcement practices and potentially limit funding for the mass deportation mandate.
