Trump Says His Deportation Policy 'Might Have Been Too Tough' for Voters in the Election
The White House says enforcement will continue as ICE keeps a target of about 2,700 arrests a day and Stephen Miller takes a larger role.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump told CBS's "60 Minutes" that his administration's deportation policy was "too tough" and contributed to Republican midterm losses, signaling openness to an immigration deal with Democrats in Congress.
- Trump noted his immigration crackdown was a prominent feature of his return to office, though he acknowledged targeting unauthorized immigrants working in the economy frustrated some voters.
- Distinguishing between individuals, Trump stated "I get hurt because we also took people that had good jobs" who committed one violation, contrasting them with "killers" and "drug dealers."
- Shortly after taping the Friday interview, Trump replaced White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller, the architect of his most controversial immigration policies.
- Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer scoffed at the remarks on social media, while Democrats prioritize oversight of the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement in the new Congress.
