Trump says deportation policy was ‘too tough’ in CBS interview
While efforts to secure the US southern border have won some domestic support, the aggressive mass deportation drive has drawn widespread criticism.
In a CBS interview, US President Donald Trump expressed that his mass deportation of undocumented immigrants was "too tough," according to an excerpt aired on Sunday. When questioned about his deportation policy, Trump told CBS's 60 Minutes, "I think it was too tough... I think it might be too tough." The interview was published by CBS on X prior to the network TV broadcast later on Sunday.
It took place after the Republican Party suffered a significant defeat in the midterm elections on Tuesday. While Trump has garnered some domestic support for securing the US southern border, his administration's aggressive efforts to deport millions of undocumented migrants have received widespread criticism. However, on Friday, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, the architect of that hardline policy, as his chief of staff, indicating a resolute approach following the Republican election loss.
Miller has been associated with scenes of masked immigration agents employing violence, following his support for federal agents who shot and killed two Americans earlier this year.
