Trump, Who Just Promoted Stephen Miller, Says Immigration Crackdown May Have Been ‘Too Tough’
Some right-wing commentators are not happy
In a recent interview with 60 Minutes, former President Donald Trump admitted that his administration's immigration crackdown may have been too stringent. The statement came days after Trump elevated Stephen Miller, a key figure in the administration's hard-line immigration policies, to the role of White House chief of staff. Trump defended his record on border security, stating he received high marks for closing the border and removing dangerous immigrants.
However, he acknowledged the policy may have been too tough, noting it hurt his political standing. As Democrats take control of Congress and investigations into the administration's immigration enforcement policies are expected, Miller's role and future remain uncertain.
