Day after 'too tough' remark over GOP midterm loss, Trump says immigration policy 'very strong', will deport 'worst of the worst'
Trump said deportation policy has not changed, while 6 in 10 midterm voters said his immigration enforcement has gone too far, according to The AP Voter Poll.
- President Donald Trump pushed back against suggestions that his immigration stance is softening, insisting during a White House press appearance that his administration maintains a "very strong deportation policy".
- Fully ruling out any form of legal relief, Trump stated plainly that there is "no amnesty, no, no anything" for undocumented immigrants living in the country.
- The remarks came in the wake of comments where Trump acknowledged that mass deportation tactics might have been "too tough" during the midterm elections, alongside questions raised by his promotion of hardline immigration architect Stephen Miller to White House chief of staff.
- While maintaining that enforcement remains a core priority, Trump acknowledged that some undocumented individuals have built stable lives, noting that "many of them have good jobs now" and are productive, tax-paying members of society.
- Trump reiterated that federal enforcement will continue to target individuals he classified as the "worst of the worst"—such as violent criminals and drug traffickers—while his administration evaluates its next steps.
