  "account": "President Donald Trump stated that his deportation of undocumented immigrants was \"too tough,\" according to an excerpt from a CBS interview released 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 excerpt was published on X, CBS's social media platform, prior to the network airing the interview later on Sunday. The interview took place after the Republican Party's significant defeat in the midterm elections, which occurred on Tuesday. Despite facing criticism for his administration's aggressive efforts to deport millions of undocumented migrants, Trump has garnered some domestic support for securing the U.S. southern border. On Friday, Trump appointed Stephen Miller, the architect of the hardline deportation policy, as his chief of staff, indicating a tough stance following the election loss. Miller is known for his role in incidents involving masked immigration agents committing violence, particularly after backing federal agents who shot and killed two Americans earlier this year.",
  "summary": "While efforts to secure the US southern border have won some domestic support, the aggressive mass deportation drive has drawn widespread criticism.",
